Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The behavior potential, as defined by Rotter, refers to the likelihood of a person behaving in a certain way based on their unique combination of external and internal factors. In this scenario, whether Seth will return the insult depends on his behavior potential, which is influenced by various factors such as his personality, past experiences, current mood, etc. Expectancy, psychological situation, and reinforcement value are all important concepts in Rotter's theory of social learning, but they are not directly relevant to this specific scenario.
