Addictions and repetitive actions are examples of what Allport calls

A) propriate functional autonomy.
B) perseverative functional autonomy.
C) perseverative striving.
D) propriate patterning.

Allport calls repetitive actions perseverative functional autonomy. This refers to behaviors that become ingrained and automatic, often as a result of prior reinforcement or habituation, and continue even when they no longer serve a practical purpose. Addiction is one example of perseverative functional autonomy, as it involves compulsive and repetitive drug-seeking behaviors that persist even in the face of negative consequences. Propriate functional autonomy (A) refers to the development of new motives and interests over time, while perseverative striving (C) and propriate patterning (D) are related concepts that focus on persistent effort towards certain goals or patterns of behavior.
