English term or phrase: Cost-discriminating
Buongiorno.........Avreste idea di cosa possano essere i "Cost-discriminating signals", fermo restando che il contesto è-Ancora!-quello dei delinquenti, che in questo caso devono-Appunto- lanciare dei segnali di riconoscimento molto precisi ad altri delinquenti?
Tante grazie!

  • It\'s a cost-discriminating signal. Only high types can take on additional activities and still do well in school. Those additional activities take time.
