Using Operant Conditioning in Relationships. Have you used psychology techniques of operant conditioning in your relationship's?

[Anonymous]

Operant Conditioning is used in our everyday lives. Even in relationships. I decided to try it out for a month to see if I can see progress not only in my own behavior but others as well. Here is an example of what Operant Conditioning is:

-State Goal (tell her/him what you want to have happen and why)
-Monitor Behavior (pay attention to what she/he actually does)
-Reinforce Desired Behavior (reward her/him for good behavior)
-Reduce Incentives for Undesired Behavior (remove rewards for bad behavior)'
-ignore behaviors in order to reduce it.

Let's say you have behaviors that you don't like in an individual for example: not initiating contact more often (but you call them all the time), using a phone while on a date,.. etc. What are some ways that you used operant conditioning in your relationship's?

I'll be the first to tell you that I'm an evil bastard, but someone would have to really piss me off or fuck me over before I would engage in that kind of bullfuckery.

It only works in a controlled environment.
