Question

The director of an assisted-living housing complex was puzzled by the following situation. When she let the residents choose their own dinnertime, as well as what they wanted to eat, she realized there were far fewer health problems and deaths. To what might she attribute this?

Answer 1

Answer:

Perceived control

Explanation:

Perceived control (PC) can be described as the illusion that you see that you have power over your inner state, actions, and the place or people, or events or feelings or activities that surround you.

There are two essential dimensions: if the control object is in the past or in the future, and whether the control object is the product, action, or operation.
