Question

Jeremiah Moore · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  If Vanna easily recalls her negative feelings about shoplifting, this suggests that these feelings are deeply ingrained and may be a result of internalized moral values or personal ethics. This internal source of motivation is likely to be more effective in inhibiting shoplifting behavior than external influences such as crowding, normative social influence, or even recent past behavior.
