What are 2 ways in which a rule-governed behavior can operate to influence the target behavior?
What will be an ideal response?
Rule-governed behavior may play a role in the effectiveness of behavioral contracts in the following ways: The contract establishes a rule that the contractee states later in the appropriate circumstances as a prompt or self-instruction to engage in the target behavior. Another way that rule-governed behavior may operate to influence the target behaviors is this: When the contractee states the rule, it may create an aversive physiological state (anxiety). Then when the contractee engages in the target behavior, it results in escape from this aversive state.
