Positive feedback produces positive emotions negative feedback produces negative emotions. “A mother’s use of salient pressure, forceful or harsh insistence, and negativity and criticism is associated with impaired self-regulation and low internalized conduct, as well as increased aggression (Combs-Ronto, 16 June 2009 pg 1152 para …show more content…
