Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steven's behavior of increasing his workout from 3 hours a week to 21 hours a week is an example of addictive behavior, as he is exhibiting a compulsive desire to continue working out, even if it is causing physical harm. His inability to stop thinking about what he did not accomplish after stopping his workout further supports this behavior. The other choices (habit, impulse control, tolerance) do not fully encompass the behavior exhibited by Steven.
