What you report depends a lot on what the data supports - i.e whether positive or negative reinforcement works better, and how well the data supports that conclusion (review how big the sample was, how likely that the conclusion is wrong, could the data have arisen randomly, as opposed to it being a true conclusion?). A general statistical analysis on the data should suffice, so long as the conclusion matches what you are reporting. (Always remember that correlation does not mean causation. E.g there are many doctors in areas of many ill people, but that does not mean that doctors are making people ill).

How are positive and negative reinforcement similar and how are they different?

Positive reinforcement is when you reward someone (person, child, pet, etc.) when they do what you want them to, and you ignore them when they do what you don't want them to do. Negative reinforcement, I believe, is when you punish someone for doing what you don't want them to do. As far as their effectiveness, it seems that a combination of both is good. Positive reinforcement is essential, and negative reinforcement helps to round it out. It is, however, important to be careful with negative reinforcement because if you put too much attention on someone while trying to enact the punishment (IE, time out), then, subconsciously, they may enjoy even the negative attention and thus you will have a counterproductive effect.


How can negative reinforcement be positive?

Negative reinforcement refers to the removal of a negative stimulus to increase the likelihood of a desired behavior. In this context, "negative" does not refer to something bad but rather the removal of something unwanted. So, negative reinforcement can be positive because it encourages the individual to engage in a behavior that leads to the removal of an aversive stimulus, ultimately resulting in a positive outcome.
