According to this theory, an individual's behavior influences and is influenced by both the social world and personal characteristics." Behavior "behavior is controlled or determined by the individual, through cognitive processes, and by the environment, through external social stimulus events." Environment "the physical surroundings around the individual that contain potentially reinforcing stimuli, including people who are present (or absent). " Individual "all the characteristics that have been rewarded in the past. Personality and cognitive factors play an important part in how a person behaves, including all of the individual's expectations, beliefs, and unique personality characteristics." Each of these factors over the course of your life have combined in unimaginable ways to create you. The combinations are endless and so you are unique. How can we use this to change in the future? Change behavior Change environment Change yourself By changing one of these things you change the potential combinations going forward. By changing all of these things you completely shatter the path you were travelling.
