The concept of positive and negative operant outcomes

The primary point that one must understand if they are to grasp the concept of positive and negative operant outcomes is that consequences of actions actually have very little to do with the future repetition of those actions. O we are genetically hardwired to behave in certain ways, irrespective of learning. positive and negative do not refer to something being "good" or "bad." each person decides for themselves how they are going to act, and consequences of actions rarely affect these decisions.
