Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

John's decision to go to class every day at lunch and after school is an example of self imposed stimulus control because he is intentionally placing himself in an environment that will increase his chances of success (attending class regularly) and decrease his chances of failure (skipping class). This is a form of behavioral self-regulation in which an individual modifies their own environment to control their behavior. The other options (modeling, self efficacy, and contingency contracts) do not accurately describe John's behavior in this scenario.
