That frustrates me. I agree with you. Behaviour is positively and negatively reinforced. The difficulty is parsing the complexity of this dynamic. We see the complexity in the situations where a favoured stimulus works with one individual and fails to work with another. People are so complex that knowing they respond to stimulus is of limited value. We actually have to interact with a person, get them to explain themselves, their goals and values, before we can work toward our goal. In essence, we need to collaborate with people to bring about change. Does this make sense to you?Alan Stangehttp://staff.prairiesouth.ca/sites/stangea/noreply@blogger.com
