Answer:

Deterrence.

Explanation:

Deterrence refers to the idea that the threat of punishment will discourage possible criminals from breaking the law. In order for deterrence to work, it must be both credible and uninviting enough, so would-be criminals consider the cost of breaking the law much higher than the cost of respecting it.

In this case, Trevor has already been punished by a previous crime. However, <u>the assaults and murderers he witnessed during his ten years in a maximum security prison will act a deterrent</u>. <u>In order to avoid landing in prison again</u> and having to live fearing for his life everyday, <u>Trevor will be determined to never again commit a crime.</u> He considers the cost of landing in prison again to be much higher than respecting the law, so he's being deterred.

Because Marion thinks Peter is unfriendly, Marion has never waved or said hello to Peter when she sees him in the hall, who is s
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

a. self-fulfilling prophecy

Explanation:

In psychology, a self-fulfilling prophecy refers to the phenomenon where  someone "predicts" or expects something, and this “prediction” or expectation comes true simply because one believes it will, and therefore the resulting behaviors align to fulfil those beliefs. In other words, a false expectation leads to its own confirmation, so the false expectations of a person eventually lead the other person to behave in such way that it confirms the original expectations.

In this example Marion thinks Peter is unfriendly and she never says hello. Peter is shy and doesn't say hi either. This lack of greeting reinforces Marion's belief that he is unfriendly. We can see that <u>Marion has a false expectation about Peter (he is unfriendly)</u> and since she doesn't say hi, <u>he doesn't say hi either, therefore, this leads Marion to "confirm" that Peter is unfriendly since the behavior of him not saying 'hi' align to fulfill this belief</u>. Therefore, this is an example of self-fulfilling prophecy.

What does delayed gratification have to do with retirement
faltersainse [42]

Answer

Hi,

Delayed gratification applies in retirement in that it  can allow a person to qualify for a higher social security payout.

Explanation

Delay of gratification is when a person resists the feeling of taking an immediate available reward while hoping to obtain a more-valued reward in the future. In this stand, one could argue that delayed gratification would make sense in retirement because the social security payout will last longer since it won’t be tapped until later. However, life is short thus another person won’t delay his retirement so long to get the time to enjoy it.

Hope this Helps!
