The answer to this question is the "resource mobilization theory" which is the third item from the choices. Sociologists who focus on how practical constraints and opportunities can help or hinder a social movement are using resource mobilization theory. They are discussing the idea that success depends on the availability of the resources such as time, money and skills and how to use these resources.
Answer:
Routine activities theory.
Explanation:
Marcus Felson and Lawrence E. Cohen developed the Routine activities theory to explain the ecological process of the crime or situation of the crime thus diverting the study of criminology from just the mere offenders. They used this theory to explain the crime in the United States in the period following World War two where the economy is booming. Therefore they relate the occurrence of crime to the more opportunities provided than merely in social problems of poverty, unemployment, etc.
Answer:
Variable Ratio Schedule
Explanation:
First, there are two different types of reinforcement:
The positive reinforcement applies a stimulus to increase the frequency of the desirable variable.
The negative reinforcement removes a stimulus to increase the frequency of the desirable variable.
However, the positive reinforcement divides itself in different types:
A continuous reinforcement schedule gives us a reinforcement every time we engaged in the desired conduct.
On the other side, the partial reinforcement schedule also divides itself in
And these divide themselves in fixed or variable.
- The fixed ratio schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>fixed number</u> of desired responses.
- The variable ratio schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>changing</u> <u>number</u> of desired responses.
- The fixed interval schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>constant amount of time.</u>
- The variable interval schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>variable amount of time.</u>
In the example, the rats get a pellet of food, so we're talking about a reinforcement. They <u>don't get a reward EVERY TIME</u> they press the bar so we are not talking about a continuous reinforcement but a partial reinforcement. Since the rats press the bar and get a reward after certain <u>NUMBER</u> of times, we're talking about a ratio schedule. Finally, the number of times they need to press the bar to get a reward <u>VARIES</u> from trial to trial so this is a Variable Ratio Schedule.
I believe the answer is theoretical model
A theoretical model is the foundation that could be held to support a certain theory for a certain research or study.
From the example above, the study is build on a foundation that both behavior and environmental factor could affect the subjects' overall health
