How do approach and avoidance relate to basic tendencies rooted in evolution?

Answer: Approach and avoidance are related to basic tendencies that may be rooted in evolution—the "fight-or-flight" choice. Approach-oriented people are more likely to "fight" in search of positive rewards, and avoidance-oriented people are more likely to take "flight" away from negative consequences.
