do you mean negative reinforcement?

it's like a grid right

  • positive = add
  • negative = remove
  • reinforcement = good thing
  • punishment = bad thing

so things that we want:

  • positive reinforcement = add good thing
  • negative punishment= remove bad thing

things we don't want

  • negative reinforcement= remove good thing
  • positive punishment= add bad thing

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

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.
