What is a subsidiation chain? Explain the subsidiation chain involved if one considers Brian’s serving in Iraq as an attitude (according to Cattell’s definition). What would be some of the sems/sentiments that motivated those behaviors? What are some ergs that motivated Brian’s choice of profession? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
A subsidiation chain is a series of behaviors that includes the expression of an erg, sentiment, and attitude. Brian’s serving in Iraq was motivated by his choice of profession (sem). Being in the Military Reserves clearly resulted in his being called in to serve in Iraq (attitude). His profession (sem) was motivated by such ergs as hunger, pride, and a need for money. (Cattell termed this “greed”.)
