Behavior arises from bidirectional interplay, not just external forces.
Evidence
Humans do not simply react to external inputs in a preprogrammed, robotic way. In the triadic interplay, intrapersonal determinants are part of the causal mix. Hence, individuals are contributors to the conditions that affect them. An agentic conception is at odds with the radical view of causal determinism, which contends that human behavior is completely and inevitably controlled by antecedent, external forces. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 96
