SCARF Model for Social Triggers

SCARF Model for Social Triggers

This is an overview of SCARF Model, an easy way to remember and act upon the social triggers that can generate both the approach and avoid responses. The approach-avoid response is a survival mechanism designed to help people stay alive by quickly and easily remembering what is good and bad in the environment.
The goal of this model is to help minimize the easily activated threat responses, and maximize positive engaged states of mind during attempts to collaborate with and influence others.
