Should on put my girlfriend on a Mixed Variable Random Reinforcement Schedule?

I understand from my Psychology unit PS100 that rewarding animals and humans randomly is more effective in them continuing their appropriate behaviour towards you.


This is the theory of B.F.Skinner





Logically it would seem if I only reward her randomly she will be more likely to be want to be with me.





For example only give her flowers/compliments/gifts at random times- not every Friday or at some regular time. Keep her hanging on to get the reward.





This type of reinforcement schedule is what keeps gamblers addicted to poker machines-they never know when the reward is going to come.





So what do you think???

It's called playing hard to get, or blowing hot and cold.





And yes, it will work to keep her interested - for a very limited time! Ultimately, people need to feel that they can rely on their partners, or no trust can be built. But certainly, keeping your relationship fresh with a few surprises now and then does no harm at all!
Reply:Lol! I think it will work. Try it and get back with us.
Reply:First of all try drop using the psychology bit on your girlfriend. She isn't an animal but a lady who wants to be treated honestly not played. Of course women love to get flowers etc at random times and not just on birthdays or Christmas. If she is with you for the gifts then you shouldn't be with her in the first place.
