This statement reflects the principles of operant conditioning, which is a type of learning where behavior is shaped by consequences such as rewards or punishments. Positive consequences increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated (positive reinforcement), while negative consequences decrease the likelihood of a behavior being repeated (negative punishment). Classical conditioning involves learning associations between two stimuli, while vicarious learning involves learning by observing others' behaviors. Effort justification is a phenomenon in which individuals justify their effort in pursuing a goal, even if the goal turns out to be less valuable or rewarding than initially believed.
