The negative side effects of reward

P D Balsam et al. J Appl Behav Anal. 1983 Fall.

Abstract

The negative side effects of aversive control have been extensively discussed in clinical literature and textbooks. The symmetry between aversive and appetitive control in basic experimental research implies that parallel negative side effects of reward exist. These negative side effects are described and their implications for clinical practice and research are discussed.
