Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Improved control is not a characteristic associated with addictive behavior. Addictive behavior is characterized by reinforcement (the pleasurable or rewarding effects of the behavior), compulsion or craving (an intense desire or urge to engage in the behavior), and negative consequences (such as physical, emotional, or social problems resulting from the behavior). Improved control would be the opposite of compulsive behavior, which is a defining feature of addiction.
