positive and negative motivation

the difference between negative motivation and positive motivation is that positive motivation don't have side effects on the long run while negative motivation may have.

positive motivation is like when a father tells his sun, "if you studied well and got high grades i will buy you the new play station", while negative motivation is like saying "if you didn't study, i wont let you travel this summer", both ways could lead to the same result however on the long run the over use of negative motivation may result in personal problems like hating the person who is negative motivating you, or maybe if you were stubborn you will start to take reverse actions than you were told too.

when to use negative motivation

negative motivation is only recommended when proper channels are available, for example i should not tell you that you must get high grades without giving you the correct books and without guiding you to where to you should start from, else you will accumulate those negative messages and have nothing to do, and so you may end up depressed.
