Question

Jeremiah knows that his roommate Hank has a financial problem, but he really does not want to pay Hank's rent this month. He does so, however, so that he won't feel guilty and sad for declining to offer help. Jeremiah's decision to pay Hank's rent is based on the ________ model. Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Negative state relief.

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative state relief model suggests that every human being has the innate impulse to reduce negative emotions or moods. In this case, the very action of helping Hank reduces both his own negative mood and Hanks by engaging in a mood-elevating behavior given that helping Hank, in this case, also helps reduce Jeremiahs bad feelings.
