Answer:

Darren is using C. shaping to get his son to eat his peas.

Explanation:

Shaping is a tactic used within Operant Conditioning, which is understood as the process for a subject to <em>acquire a certain behavior</em> through reinforcements.

Shaping occurs when the reinforcements occur during a successive pattern of the behavior, not only whenever a behavior is present.

We can see it clearly in this example; Darren <em>slowly starts to praise </em>(reinforce) his son's behaviors, <em>gradually moving</em> from moving his fork towards the peas until he moves the fork with the pea to its mouth.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

- Back stage.

Explanation:

As per the given description, Amanda would be considered in the 'backstage' as per Erving Goffman, the famous social psychologist. He described 'backstage' behavior as the behavior when there's no audience available to judge their behavior and individuals are completely liberated to reflect their 'true selves' without any kind of inhibition. Therefore, <u>the 'informal chat' and discussion about the new clients between the secretary and Amanda reflect that she(Amanda) is in 'backstage' as she is not inhibiting her 'true self' without any restriction and not 'casting off' anything.</u>
