Tim's experience illustrates acceptance, as he has fully adopted and internalized the vegetarian lifestyle and now would never go back to eating meat. Compliance would suggest that Tim was only vegetarian to please his friends and may not truly believe in the practice. Reactance arises when individuals feel their autonomy is being threatened, which is not present in Tim's case. Social facilitation refers to the phenomenon where individuals tend to perform better on simple tasks and worse on complex tasks when in the presence of others. This is not relevant to Tim's vegetarianism.
