Alfie Kohn in his book, Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise and other Bribes, documents how rewarding behavior can create the same kind of discouragement, anger and resentment that is created when punishing behavior. Incentives rarely motivate, and as in the case of Jennifer and Tamika, actually become disincentives.
