Question

An employee's paycheck is one of the most simplistic examples of ________. a. self-fulfilling prophecy b. social-learning theory c. reinforcement theory d. operant conditioning e. self-efficacy

Answer 1

D, operant conditioning

Step-by-step explanation:

Operant conditioning is a type of conditioning or a method of leaning that stems from being rewarded or punished for a certain behavior.

In the terms of the paycheck of an employee, the paycheck serves as reward for the employees dedication to his work over a certain period of time. This goes on to instill in the employee that as long as he/she is meticulous and diligent about his/her duties, a paycheck is meant to be handed out to him/her.

Operant conditioning is also called instrumental conditioning.

Cheers.
