JudyThis is related to behavioral theory.
The negative contrast effect is evident when a particular behaviour is reinforced through a reward. When the reward is reduced or withdrawn the behaviour diminishes or ceases. The theory is that a person will view an action as being without value unless there is a reward, and fail to see its importance e.g. brushing teeth or reading. Therefore, a person should not be rewarded for doing something which is beneficial in itself.
The positive contrast effect is when a reward is increased, the person shows an even greater frequency of the behaviuor than those persons who had been rewarded with the higher amount all along.
