Antecedent, Behaviour, Corruption
C

D
Antecedent, Behaviour, Consequence.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ABC Model: The three-term possible events of antecedent, behavior, and consequence. An antecedent is something that comes before a behavior and may trigger that behavior. A behavior is anything an individual does. A consequence is something that follows the behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -Every instance of challenging behavior has 3 common components, an Antecedent, a Behavior, and a Consequence. These are known as the ABC’s of behavior.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antecedents are the contexts or events that occur immediately BEFORE the challenging behavior. They include specific times of day, settings, people, and activites. Consequences are the events or contexts that occur immediately AFTER the challenging behavior.

Detailed explanation-4: -ABC is an acronym for Antecedents, Behavior, Consequences. It is used as a tool for the assessment and formulation of problem behaviors and is useful when clinicians, clients, or carers want to understand the ‘active ingredients’ for a problem behavior.

Detailed explanation-5: -The basic idea behind the ABC model is that “external events (A) do not cause emotions (C), but beliefs (B) and, in particular, irrational beliefs (IB) do” (Sarracino et al., 2017).
