Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steve's preoccupation with fitting in his workout even when something else is scheduled indicates a compulsive behavior related to his exercise addiction. Compulsion is a symptom of addiction where a person experiences an intense urge or need to engage in an activity or behavior, even when it interferes with their daily life or responsibilities. Denial, loss of control, and negative consequences could also be symptoms of addiction, but they are not as directly demonstrated in this scenario.
