Modern "wellness" has gone too far to where people experiencing any hardship or adversity of any kind is "trauma" .
Negative reinforcement is a massively powerful motivator, but it doesn't feel good while it's happening.
Ideally there's also positive reinforcement in your life to make a nice balanced stew, but we need to be able to survive off negative, especially in professional pursuits.
Every emotion you experience isn't a condition, even if you feel it often.
If you feel it CONSTANTLY, then yeah something is wrong.
do you mean negative reinforcement?
it's like a grid right
so things that we want:
things we don't want
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
