Does the scenario illustrate reciprocal causation

Reference no: EM133704123

Problem: Megan is a high school student who is learning how to drive. She has passed her written exam and is hoping to take her practical driving test next week. She knows she will have to parallel park to pass the test, so she asks her father to take her to a vacant parking lot to practice. At first, Megan has a terrible time parking parallel to a curb at the edge of the parking lot. She feels frustrated about her failure but insists that she isn't giving up. Dad reassures her that the more she practices, the more skillful she will become. In addition, he switches places with her and slowly demonstrates some of the things he does and thinks about when he parks alongside a curb. Megan takes a deep breath, tries again, and successfully parallel-parks the car. "I want to do it five more times before we go home!" she explains. Does this scenario illustrate reciprocal causation? Why or why not?
