It would depend who it was and the context.
If for instance I was consistently late for work the threat of losing my job would make me either turn up on time or resign.
If a neighbour asked me to stop planting beetroot in my garden nothing would make me change that behaviour. |

Depends on what it is. Like, I bite my nails. Not a nice habit. If I was with someone who didn't like it I'd try and stop. Indeed I have done in the past. Shame her bad habit didn't stop, but that's another story
If you're talking major personality changes, then I probbaly wouldn't change |

What a strange and contrary lot you are!! I hope I never reach a day when I am not still growing and changing, and open to all sorts of re-alignment.
Anyway, positive reinforcement just means any kind of reward that makes a behaviour more likely to reoccur. If I noticed that every time I cooked my partner steak we had the most amazing sex later, damn straight I'll cook him more steak!!
I reckon all kinds of pleasant consequences could modify all kinds of behaviour of mine, and I'm often perfectly willing to do things for people I care about anyway - as I hope they would do for me.
