Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Abstinence Violation Effect (AVE) refers to the negative feelings and cognitive assessments that occur when a person trying to abstain from a behavior (e.g., substance use, eating disorders) violates their commitment to abstinence. This typically includes feelings of demoralization, reduced self-efficacy, and loss of motivation to remain abstinent. Renewed commitment to abstinence is not considered a component of AVE; rather, AVE tends to undermine such commitment.
