_____ increases the likelihood that a behavior will occur, whereas _____ decreases that likelihood.,

In psychology, there are three main factors that affect our behavior: motivation, desensitization and deindividuation. Motivation is the degree to which we want to do something. Desensitization is how quickly we get used to seeing things (a process called habituation). Deindividuation occurs when people’s sense of self-awareness and individual identity decreases in a group setting. The contrast between these three concepts can be illustrated by analyzing what happens when someone is watching TV programs or films with no commercials for long periods of time.

Motivation: Motivation refers to an internal drive towards something specific. It’s influenced by factors like personality traits, innate needs, social norms/expectations, values and consequences associated with not achieving it. People motivate themselves through their need for achievement or agency while others are internally motivated by intrinsic rewards such as enjoyment or feeling competent. Desensitization: Desensitization is how quickly we get used to seeing things, a process called habituation. It’s an automatic response that happens without our knowledge and can involve any sense (taste, touch, sight) but it usually refers to the visual stimulus of something repetitive like movies or TV shows with no commercials for long periods of time. As soon as you see one violent scene in a movie your heart rate might quicken, but if there are seven consecutive scenes then by the seventh you show little reaction because desensitizing yourself has made it normal and not shocking anymore which means less stress hormones will be released during those moments when someone else would have been terrified
