Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Julian Rotter devised a theory explaining people are motivated to seek or avoid reinforcement and punishment. Rotter viewed personality as a set of stable potential responses to different situations. If a person has responded in a certain way that led to pleasurable or favorable consequences, this way of behaving would become a pattern or a part of an individual’s personality.
