Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Modeling behavior typically occurs when an individual identifies with the model or sees them as having a desirable status or role. In this context, William is more likely to model behavior from individuals he spends significant time with, identifies with, or admires for their status or qualities (e.g., a teacher, a best friend, or a popular peer). A bus driver, despite potentially being a positive figure, is less likely to be modeled by William due to the more limited and functional nature of their interaction.
