Approach and avoidance theory

 Approach and avoidance theory:::

Individuals tend to delay their decision making process, mainly because they are caught in worrying about the consequences they might have to face, over which they have no control.

Approach- avoidance theory is more prominent in individual's goal setting, wherein an individual think about either a gain or a benefit from achieving the goals or they might keep worrying about the consequences or failure they might face towards their goal achieving journey.

In approach theory an individual looks possibilities and try to see beyond obvious.
In avoidance theory an individual looks at difficulties and get stuck at obvious.

In approach theory an individual can stretch himself to achieve beyond their normal goals.
In avoidance theory an individual can barely reach to his normal goals.
