Question

ken tends to worry a lot. he is particularly aware of potential threats. as a result, his willingness to try new things is limited, and he has few opportunities to see that his worries are unfounded. bandura called this process: the spotlight effect. the self - serving bias. narcissism. reciprocal determinism.

Explanation:

• The spotlight effect refers to overestimating how much others notice one's behavior or appearance.
• The self - serving bias is taking credit for success and blaming external factors for failure.
• Narcissism is excessive self - love and self - admiration.
• Reciprocal determinism, a concept by Bandura, posits that behavior, personal factors (like cognition, affect), and environmental factors interact. Ken's worry (personal factor) limits his behavior (trying new things), which in turn affects his environment (fewer opportunities to disprove worries), fitting reciprocal determinism.

Answer:

reciprocal determinism.
