Question 19
3 / 3 pts
Reciprocal triadic causation is the single most important aspect of SCT as
applied to health promotion. Which answer is NOT appropriate for this
model?
It involves environment, person’s mind, and a behavior.
Environment represents social, economic, policy, legal, or physical influence
that can act on behavior.
Person is cognitive attributes such self-efficacy, outcome expectation, and
