Editing Reinforcement (section)

===Further ideas and concepts===

* Distinguishing between positive and negative reinforcement can be difficult and may not always be necessary. Focusing on what is being removed or added and how it affects behavior can be more helpful.
* An event that punishes behavior for some may reinforce behavior for others.
* Some reinforcement can include both positive and negative features, such as a drug addict taking drugs for the added euphoria (positive reinforcement) and also to eliminate withdrawal symptoms (negative reinforcement).
* Reinforcement in the business world is essential in driving productivity. Employees are constantly motivated by the ability to receive a positive stimulus, such as a promotion or a bonus. Employees are also driven by negative reinforcement, such as by eliminating unpleasant tasks.
* Though negative reinforcement has a positive effect in the short term for a workplace (i.e. encourages a financially beneficial action), over-reliance on a negative reinforcement hinders the ability of workers to act in a creative, engaged way creating growth in the long term.<ref name="Harter">{{cite book| vauthors = Harter JK | title=Well-Being in the Workplace and its Relationship to Business Outcomes: A Review of the Gallup Studies|year=2002|publisher=American Psychological Association|location=Washington D.C.| veditors = Keyes CL  | url = http://media.gallup.com/documents/whitePaper--Well-BeingInTheWorkplace.pdf }}</ref>
