Estella always did yoga for an hour a day. But since the baby was born she barely has time to do more than a few quick poses in a week. Even though she can't stand her sister-in-law, Estella is willing to ask her to come and watch the baby so she can have a yoga break now and then. Which of the following is reflected in Estella's situation?
a. goal gradient
b. drive reduction
c. behavioral bliss point
d. response deprivation
Ans: d. response deprivation.
Access to yoga has been restricted and has fallen below its preferred level of occurrence. Estella will do an unpleasant behavior (see her sister-in-law) in order to have time doing her preferred behavior.
