In which scenario would the prototype willingness model be most applicable?

The prototype willingness model (PWM) is a theoretical framework that emphasizes the role of social norms and behavioral intentions in shaping an individual's choices. It suggests that behavior is influenced not just by intention but also by the prototypes or images of people that are considered as role models or typical behavior in a given context.

In the context of selecting a healthy meal based on past behaviors, the prototype willingness model is highly relevant. This is because the choice to eat healthily can be heavily influenced by prior experiences and behaviors, as well as the social prototypes of healthy eaters. If an individual has observed or experienced healthy eating as a normative or positively perceived behavior in their social environment, they are more likely to choose a healthy meal when faced with the decision. This scenario aligns well with the model's suggestion that social influence and the perception of healthy eating behaviors play a crucial role in decision-making.

Furthermore, the other scenarios do not as strongly emphasize the influence of social prototypes or past behavior in the same way. Engaging in a well-practiced sport, for instance, relies more on skill and routine than on social modeling. Studying for an exam without prior methodology may point more towards individual initiative than the influences of behavior on decision-making. Lastly, sporadic instances
