Navigating Complicated Relationships – Michaela Gaffen Stone 

When was laziness invented?

The word “lazy” first appeared in English around 1540; even back then, it was used in a judgmental way to refer to someone who supposedly didn’t like work or effort.

So where does the idea of laziness come from?

Many etymologists believe it came from either the Middle Low German “lasich,” which meant “feeble” or “weak,” or from the Old English “lesu,” which meant “false” or “evil.” The idea that “lazy” people are weak and lack motivation, making them morally corrupt and evil, is still with us today.

But is it really ‘a thing’? Michaela Gaffen Stone, BCBA and Human Behavior expert will reveal the real meaning behind ‘laziness’ in this episode.

While some studies of motivation suggest that laziness may be caused by a decreased level of motivation, lack of interest, and confidence which in turn can be caused by over-stimulation or excessive impulses or distractions, Michaela disagrees.
