| Examining my behavior in terms of my behaviorist background, I've came to the conclusion that it takes more instances of punishment to deter me from a behavior than it does most folks. I'm kind of like the rat who goes for the water, receives a shock, then goes back for more water, because that dipper has something he wants. It takes a longer punishment history to get me to stop doing something, because I somehow believe that the outcome will be different despite the circumstances being the same. I've come up with an average of three based on my recent fun with automobiles, i.e. it takes me three totaled cars because it totally and completely sinks in. Interestingly enough, I need a much shorter reinforcement history to institute a pretty set pattern of behavior. I don't know if that means I'm just an eternal optimist or what. Anyway, excuse my behavioral mumbo-jumbo, I just found it interesting. In other news, one good piece of news has arrived in the past couple of days. Turns out Menards gave me Team Member of the Week for all the hard work I put in covering for all the spring-breakers, so that's cool. Big win for the home team! |
