Adjective
(en adjective)- If we reinterpret these phenomena in terms of a consistently
game-playing model of behavior, the need to distinguish be-
tween primary and secondary gains disappears. The correla-
tive necessity to estimate the relative significance of physio-
logical needs and dammed-up impulses on the one hand, and
of social and interpersonal factors on the other, also vanishes.

social life without specified rules for dealing with them, in-
stinctual needs cannot be considered solely in terms of biologi-
cal rules, but must also be viewed in terms of their psycho-
social significance—that is, as parts of the game.
