Bandura's reciprocal determinism

Bandura's reciprocal determinism is a psychological theory that suggests behavior, environment, and personal factors all interact and influence each other. Essentially, how we act (behavior) can shape our surroundings (environment), while our environment can also affect our thoughts and feelings (personal factors). For example, if someone practices public speaking (behavior), it can boost their confidence (personal factor) and encourage more speaking opportunities (environment). This model highlights the dynamic and interconnected nature of our actions, surroundings, and internal thoughts, emphasizing that change in one area can lead to changes in the others.
