Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This concept emphasizes the complex interplay of individual, social, and environmental factors in shaping our eating behavior. Choice A refers to the tendency to perform better in the presence of others, which may or may not influence food consumption. Choice B refers to the hypothetical weight range that the body defends, which is not directly related to situational influences on food consumption. Choice D is one situational factor, but does not encompass the broader ecological perspective.
