What approaches to motivation will be best to use?human behavior

In addition to the earlier response, I would like to add that positive role models act as a motivating factor for both children as well as adults. In the workplace if fellow workers are kind and considerate, washing utensils after their use inthe lunchroom, other employees will follow suit. Why is that ? I've seen that in places where I have worked. I think it is because everyone wants to contribute to a nice environment. In addition, no one wants to be viewed as the troublemaker--the one who disrupts the flow of positive action.

With children it is even more obvious. Children like to copy each other. Especially they want to copy an adult. They have no firm sense of identity yet, so they copy some adult that they admire. This kind of copying is very important to a child's development. It is a highly motivating factor--being a role model.
