In essence, this preference for negative feedback is often linked to a desire for self-improvement and a need to feel motivated by challenges, rather than being satisfied with praise that might feel superficial or undeserved.💭
Am I the only OT that worry that positive reinforcement could lead to complacency or a lack of motivation. I fear that being praised will me to stop striving for improvement, so negative feedback feels more energizing because it pushes me to keep working harder.
