What is The reactance theory??

Health
1 answer:
Maksim231197 [3]3 years ago
6 0
Answer :
reactance theory a model stating that in response to a perceived threat to—or loss of—a behavioral freedom, a person will experience psychological reactance (or, more simply, reactance), a motivational state characterized by distress, anxiety, resistance, and the desire to restore that freedom. According to this model, when people feel coerced into a certain behavior, they will react against the coercion, often by demonstrating an increased preference for the behavior that is restrained, and may perform the behavior opposite to that desired.

Explanation: The answer lies in what is referred to as reactance theory. This theory states that when people are restricted in some way they feel a strong need to resist and fight back to gain their freedom. Just as we traded the playground balls, people who are told not to do something often feel an urge to do the very thing they're denied.

Which of the following is NOT a factor that negatively influences teen drug abuse?
deff fn [24]
The answer is strong refusal skills. A teen who has been properly raised would know the difference between right and wrong and has a sense of directions to what he or she wants to do with his or her life. They have the decision to put themselves in that position. No amount of peer pressure would force a strong youth to take drugs when he or she is capable of taking charge of his or her life.
