Question

what are some of the reinforcers do yoh respond to that shapes your behaviors (negative and positive) and identify why you think these reinforcers have the strongest influence.

Answer 1

We are surrounded by reinforcers that modify our behavior for better or positive outcomes. The
reinforcers can be positive or negative, but they always increase the frequency of desirable behaviors.
Such as-
 Every time I won a prize in a quiz competition I felt proud and happy. Therefore, I grew up to be
more competitive and developed a knack for learning new things whenever possible. This
behavior helped me immensely to develop a vast knowledge base apart from my regular study.
 I didn’t know how to cook. When I got a job away from home in a remote area, I lost all the
privileges of getting cooked meals which I was getting at home. Initially, it was really difficult to
cope up with but gradually I learned to cook.
Thus, both positive and negative reinforcers are important to shape up our behaviors.
