We have conducted three sets of experiments to assess the effect of different types of pleasure—related versus unrelated to the satisfaction of physiological needs—under different environmental circumstances. Our results indicate that pleasure, including pleasure unrelated to need satisfaction, has value for homeostatic management in terms of improved viability and increased flexibility in adaptive behavior.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;a href=&quot;https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1059712316666331&quot;&gt;Download&lt;/a&gt; (Open Access)</style></notes></record></records></xml>
