do you mean negative reinforcement?
it's like a grid right
so things that we want:
things we don't want
Folks should be prepared to deal with all of those. And even operate normally while only experiencing the negative varieties, without thinking the sky is falling on them.
At the same time, people shouldn't tolerate toxic environment.
Close, but in operant conditioning, reinforcement encourages good behavior, and punishment discourages bad. So it's:
Positive reinforcement: add good thing in response to desirable behavior Negative reinforcement: remove bad thing in response to desirable behavior
Positive punishment: add bad thing in response to undesirable behavior Negative punishment: remove good thing in response to undesirable behavior
ah that's right, been a while since sociology courses lol
