We begin doing what we get rewarded for and stop doing what we get punished for: b. f. skinner operant conditioning - human behavior comes through the system of rewards and punishment. *our behavior isn"t determined by our habits: exchange theory- for any course of action they do a cost/benefit analysis. Each person expects to gain something from that person. If the rewards outweigh the cost/risks, then we will engage in that behavior and vice versa. consider the fact that different people will value things differently.
