Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of increasing effort as a result of experiencing positive outcomes is known as learned industriousness.

The other options listed do not accurately describe the findings of Eisenberger and others. Learned helplessness refers to a sense of powerlessness that arises from repeated failure, motivational transfer is not a well-established concept, and increased potentiation is not related to the study of effort and reinforcement.
