Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Getting demoted at work is considered an aversive event because it involves a reduction in job status, pay, or responsibilities, which can be frustrating or distressing for most people. It is not a positive event or negative reinforcement, as it does not involve the addition or removal of a desirable stimulus (e.g., receiving praise or a promotion) to increase the likelihood of a behavior. Extinction refers to the gradual disappearance of a behavior due to lack of reinforcement, and it is not directly related to a demotion at work.
