Which of the following best describes bandura’s ideas about the relationship between behavior, cognition, and environment? a. the environment and cognitions jointly influence behavior. b. cognitions influence behaviors that, in turn, influence the environment. c. behaviors influence cognitions that, in turn, influence the environment. d. the environment influences cognitions and behavior. e. cognitions, behaviors, and the environment mutually influence each other.

The correct answer is indeed letter E. Cognitions, behaviors, and the environment mutually influence each other.

Explanation:

According to Albert Bandura's social-cognitive theory, there is a continuous and mutual interaction between one's behaviors, the environment, and personal factors (mainly cognition). Those three factors are the triad of his reciprocal determinism. Prior to Bandura's theory, children were seen as passive recipients of environmental influences, which made them completely moldable. According to reciprocal determinism, cognition, environment, and behavior are constantly interacting and influencing one another. Of course, they do not exert equal measures of influence. That will change according to the moment and situation. Anyhow, his ideas cleared the way to the realization that, the same way environment can affect behavior, behavior can also affect and change the environment.

marginal cost is a microeconomic measure that us to evaluate the extent to which the level of production of a good is sustainable in accounting, that is, to how many quantities the company plans to profit from the production of the good.

the concept of marginal cost is simple, it means the cost of producing one more item. for example, in the case of pies, the marginal cost is the cost of producing one more pie than those that have already been produced.

it is important to understand that productive activity influences marginal cost. the marginal cost of some goods can be very high, while others may be insignificant. for example, the marginal cost of producing an extra plane is very high. already the marginal cost of a water company to provide 1l more water is derisory.

in the case of pies, the cost involves the inputs, the labor and the fixed cost, which involves the fixed space of the bakery. the level of production initially has the marginal cost decreasing because there is space and manpower available. however, to produce more you have to hire more workers and buy more inputs. if physical space is limited, workers will conflict with places, inputs and their productivity will decrease, meaning there is an optimum point of production for each level of space and manpower. from this point on, the productivity of the workers will be getting smaller because of lack of space, so that the marginal cost of producing one more pie will be increasing. so, although you have not posted the chart, but if you have the answer, you can see that my explanation goes according to the marginal cost curve that will increase from the 4th pie, answer (c).
