Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario describes a situation where Marvin's environment (living situation, family income, and access to play areas) does not support his needs, especially given his physical limitations. This is an example of person-environment incongruence, where there is a mismatch between the individual's needs and the environment's ability to meet those needs.
