Type of reinforcement :
There is two kinds of reinforcements in in psychology so I’ve been told in class, the negative kind will be used in avoidance conditioning such as what the teacher asked us in class, if your boy friend smokes and you try to make him stop by not kissing him after he smokes instead of complaining to him and positive reinforcement would be vice versa.

What is reinforcement :
Reinforcement is like punishment you do to others to get what you want, again, just like the girl won’t kiss her boy friend unless he didn’t smoke.

How to use reinforcement effectively :
I believe positive reinforcement is more effective, because it’s more encouranging and nicer, I would be sick and tired of negative reinforcement like girl friend won’t kiss me if I smoked.

Side effects of reinforcement :
If you used positive reinforcement people might just do it for granted, then the next time you want them to do it again, you’ll probably have to give them a better reward next time.
Negative reinforcements may cause extreme effects, maybe they will do the behaviors you want them to stop more frequently, so you got to use it to the right person at the right time, or you will have more trouble.
