When you have students that come from marginalized communities, their life experiences and environment contributes to the behavior that has a direct effect on their relationships with others. The personal factors involved included dealing with the fact that people judge them upon laying eyes on them for the first time and that they have their own preconceived notions about people that come from cultures outside of their own.

Behavior and Environment: People are both products and producers of their environment. They affect the way they experience the environment by selecting or creating the situations into which they enter. People will select activities that reflect their acquired preferences and competencies (Bandura & Walters, 1959). Conversely, once a person is in an environment, the environment will affect their behaviors.

Environment and Personal Factors: Based on known or perceived social status as well as observable characteristics, people can affect their social environment before they do or say anything. However, social expectations within the environment also shape the way one feels they should be or what they should aim to be like (Bandura, 2011).

Personal Factors and Behavior: Beliefs, expectations, and self-perceptions affect the way people behave (Bandura, 1986). In the opposite direction, behaviors can also modify sensory systems and brain structures that influence personal factors such as preferences and personality (Greenough, Black & Wallace, 1987).
