Choosing to cease laughing at an off-color joke told by a co-worker in order to get him to stop is an example of extinction.
Routines with erratic time intervals: Reward the behaviour after an unanticipated interval of time. Positive affectivity is the term used to describe positive emotions and behaviours like pride, zeal, vigour, and delight. The negative emotions and behaviours that make up negative affectivity include sadness, disdain, sloth, worry, and anguish. Both positive and negative reinforcement raises the likelihood that a behaviour will recur in the future. You can distinguish between the two by looking at whether something is being added to or taken away from the situation. When something occurs, positive reinforcement occurs. Ask the individual telling the joke to explain it to you if you feel it is inappropriate. Sometimes jokes are told without regard for the potential harm they may cause to others.
