Rubicon Model in Psychology

Rubicon model in Psychology defines clear boundaries between motivational and action phases. The first boundary separates the motivational process of the predecisional phase from the volitional processes of postdecisional phase. Another boundary is that between initiation and conclusion of an action. According to the Rubicon model every action includes such a point of no return at which the individual moves from goal setting to goal striving.
