- Answer- I. Success Proposition: For all actions taken by persons, the more often a
particular action of a person is rewarded, the most likely the person is to perform that
action.
II. Stimulus Proposition: If in the past the occurrence of a particular stimulus or set of
stimuli has been the occasion on which a person's action has been rewarded, then, the
most similar the present stimuli are to the past ones, the more likely the person is to
perform the action or some similar action now.
III. Value Proposition: The more valuable to a person is the result of his action, the most
likely he is to perform the action.
IV. Deprivation/Satiation Proposition: The more often in the recent past a person has
received a particular reward, the less valuable any further unit of that reward becomes
for him.
V. Aggression/Approval Propositions: a. When a person's action does not receive the
reward he expected or receives the punishment he did not expect, he will be angry and
become more likely to perform aggressive behavior, and the results of such behavior
become more valuable to him. b. When a person's action receives the reward expected,
especially greater reward than expected, or does not receive punishment he expected,
he will be pleased and become more likely to perform approving behavior, and the
results of such behavior become more valuable to him. VI. Rationality Proposition: In
choosing between alternative actions, a person will choose that one for which, as
perceived by him or her at the time, the value of the result, multiplied by the probability
of getting that result, is greater.
