Albert is a teenager who lives in a close-knit rural community of 3,000 people where everyone knows one another. He resides in a house with his parents and grandparents. A couple of kids from his school have talked about spray painting the back of the grocery store, but Albert knows the owner of the store and what a hardship it would be for the owner to clean up the mess and his parents would be extremely disappointed in him for being a follower. Albert talks the kids out of the plan in favor of meeting some friends to play basketball in the park. Albert's actions are best explained by which theory?
