There are two statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Mark your answer as per the options given below.

Assertion: A person, who is generally aggressive, may behave in an aggressive manner in the presence of her/his top boss. 
Reasoning: According to Situationism, the situations and circumstances in which one is placed influence one’s behaviour

Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.

While many psychologists believe that our behaviours are influenced by our personal traits, some others hold the view that our behaviours are influenced more by situational factors. This latter view is known as situationism, which states that situations and circumstances in which one is placed influence one’s behaviour. A person, who is generally aggressive, may behave in a submissive manner in the presence of her/his top boss. Sometimes, the situational influences are so powerful that individuals with differing personality traits respond to them in almost the same ways. The situationist perspective views human behaviour relatively more as a result of influence of external factors.
