Key Points
- This is just a primer on pliance, tracking and augmenting and how each one can contribute to inflexibility.
- Dominance of pliance happens when people engage in inflexible behavior because of how society or other people might mete out the contingencies on following through on certain rules.
- Avoidant tracking is when people get the natural reinforcement for following certain rules, but might also lead to inflexibility.
- Problematic augmenting is when words are used to alter the reinforcing or punishing contingencies.
- Pliance, tracking and augmenting can be clinically relevant and have an impact on valued living.
