Rewarding desired behaviors reinforces manipulation from "summary" of Como Manipular Pessoas by Maxwell Nelson
When we want to manipulate someone, we must understand the power of rewards. By rewarding the behaviors we desire, we reinforce the idea that these actions are beneficial or pleasing. This reinforcement creates a cycle where the individual is more likely to continue behaving in the way we want them to. Think of a child who is given candy every time they clean their room. The child soon associates cleaning with receiving a reward, making them more likely to tidy up without being asked. In this case, the reward of candy reinforces the desired behavior of cleaning the room. The same concept applies to manipulation. By rewarding desired behaviors, we are essentially training the individual to act in a certain way to receive a positive outcome. This can be a powerful tool in manipulating people to do what we want them to do. However, we must be careful not to rely too heavily on rewards, as this can lead to an unhealthy dynamic of manipulation. If the individual realizes they are being manipulated through rewards, they may become resistant or resentful. It is important to strike a balance between rewarding desired behaviors and fostering genuine trust and respect in our relationships.- Rewarding desired behaviors is a key strategy in manipulation. By understanding the power of rewards, we can effectively influence others to act in ways that benefit us. Nonetheless, we must use this strategy responsibly and with caution, to avoid creating negative consequences in our relationships.
