Full Description

This exam aims to evaluate the mechanisms underlying psychological reactance as they relate to behavioral change. Candidates will articulate how perceived threats to freedom influence individual choices.

Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for theorists and practitioners alike, as it provides insight into how individuals modify their behavior in response to external pressures. This insight is essential for developing effective interventions and communication strategies.

Candidates will be tested on their ability to clearly convey mechanisms of reactance and their implications for behavioral change during verbal evaluations.
