Impulsivity/sociability and reinforcement in verbal operant conditioning.

B S Gupta, M Nagpal

    British Journal of Psychology (London, England : 1953)
    |May 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    High scorers on impulsivity and sociability scales showed better conditioning under reward conditions. Low scorers, however, performed better under punishment, indicating personality traits influence verbal operant conditioning responses.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Understanding individual differences in learning is crucial.
    • Verbal operant conditioning is a key area in behavioral psychology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between personality traits (impulsivity, sociability) and reinforcement modes in verbal operant conditioning.
    • To determine how different levels of impulsivity and sociability affect learning under rewarding versus punishing conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Taffel's verbal conditioning procedure with 120 female undergraduates.
    • Employed 2x3 randomized block designs for impulsivity and sociability, replicated ten times.
    • Assessed conditioning scores of high and low scorers on impulsivity and sociability scales.

    Main Results:

    • High scorers on impulsivity and sociability conditioned better under rewarding conditions ('good', 'buzzer').
    • Low scorers on impulsivity and sociability conditioned better under punishing conditions ('electric shock').
    • High impulsivity scorers showed increased conditioning with rewards; low scorers (impulsivity and sociability) showed increased conditioning with punishment.

    Conclusions:

    • Personality traits, specifically impulsivity and sociability, significantly moderate the effectiveness of different reinforcement types in verbal operant conditioning.
    • Individual differences in personality predict differential responses to reward and punishment in learning contexts.
