Science and Human Behavior, Chapter 9: Deprivation and Satiation, Quote 3

Science and Human Behavior“Not all deprivation or satiation is concerned with the conspicuous interchange of materials. A man may be “deprived of physical exercise” if he is kept indoors by bad weather; as a result he is especially likely to be active when the weather clears. Here, deprivation consists merely of preventing the occurrence of behavior, and the emission of the behavior is itself satiating.” (p. 142)
