Therefore, expectation is a very important factor in psychology. With regard to conflict resolution, each side must understand their own expectations and how they affect their behavior, as well as understanding the expectations of the other side. In addition to prediction and expectation, the third principle of psychology is motivation. There is no behavior without motivation. Behavior is not spontaneous.
Motivation can be external or internal.
The strongest and most important motivation is receiving attention . Therefore the option of ignoring, of not paying attention, is a powerful instrument of prediction and control. If you do not like certain behavior from the other side, the worst thing to do is to argue with them. You will become exhausted, and the other side will be happy. Attention can be used either to your advantage or to your disadvantage.
