They are reluctant to express disagreement with others, and are often willing to go to abnormal lengths to win the approval of those on whom they rely.

him for his own works.

Next, is Negative Reinforcement also by

Skinner, that is when the Mrs. Adawiyah

warn his son (Fir), if he refuse to depend

on his mother, she wont fetch him after

school.
