Identify and give an example for each of the three antecedent conditions necessary for motivating one to reduce uncertainty. Which condition do you think is most important? Why?

What will be an ideal response?

The three antecedent conditions necessary for motivating one to reduce uncertainty are the anticipation of future interaction, the ability to receive future rewards, and deviant or unusual behavior. The examples will vary by student but should clearly illustrate the concepts. As for which is most important, the answer will vary but should be judged on depth of understanding each of the concepts and the arguments presented.
