Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Primary gain is the relief from anxiety or responsibility through the development of physical or psychological symptoms. Secondary gain, on the other hand, refers to the reinforcement of behaviors that maintain those symptoms, such as attention from others or being excused from responsibilities. Positive reinforcement and avoidance reward are both types of reinforcement, but they do not specifically relate to the development of symptoms for relief.
