Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behaviourists believe that sexual dysfunctions are due to conditioned anxiety, which occurs when an individual associates negative experiences or anxiety with sexual activity. This can lead to avoidance or inhibition of sexual activity, resulting in sexual dysfunctions. Negative reinforcement and short-term, self-centred rewards may contribute to maintaining this avoidance behaviour, but they are not the primary focus of behaviourists in explaining sexual dysfunctions. Negative cognitive expectancies are more closely associated with cognitive-behavioural theories rather than behaviourism.
