According to the study, the class that was repeatedly congratulated for being neat and tidy showed a reduction in littering two weeks after the study ended, indicating that positive reinforcement was effective in promoting behavior change. The other options either involved negative reinforcement (reprimands) or ignoring the behavior, which were not as effective.
