  • Summary

  • Deprival/superreaction tendency refers to the human tendency to react strongly to the loss or deprivation of something, often resulting in irrational or exaggerated behaviors. This mental model suggests that people tend to place a higher value on things they might lose or perceive as scarce.

    Loss hits harder than gain 📉💥 We overreact when something is taken away—real or perceived.
