Reciprocal Determinism
Captions available
The idea
Reciprocal determinism holds that personal factors such as thoughts, behavior and the environment each influence the other two, rather than the environment acting alone.
In practice
A confident student speaks up, earns praise, and grows more confident still.
Where people slip
Influence runs in all directions, so no single factor is the whole cause of what a learner does.
