Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aversion therapy is the most appropriate technique for treating smoking or inappropriate sexual attractions as it associates a negative stimulus with the undesirable behavior (e.g. electric shock or bad taste with smoking or viewing pornography). This creates a conditioned aversion to the behavior and reduces the likelihood of it being repeated in the future. Flooding and systematic desensitization are methods used for treating phobias, while token economy and contingency management are methods used for behavior modification in a variety of contexts, but not specifically for smoking or sexual attraction.
