Main -> In the Classroom: Personality

A Demonstration of Approach and Avoidance Conflicts.

This is a great demonstration that enables you to teach some personality constructs. The author states "...I describe a classroom demonstration of avoidance-avoidance conflicts. Students make a series of approach-approach and avoidance-avoidance choices. The avoidance choices take longer to make than the approach decisions. The students also rate the avoidance choices as less satisfactory, more difficult to make, and subject to change. Avoidance conflicts are relevant to contemporary ideas of loss aversion, decision making, and negative self-evaluation."
