:This artically only needs minor changes. It will help readers sift through it better.
:I could help clean up this article, and add to it. The article at least needs subsections, which won't be hard to do. I would also like to add therapeutic uses of reverse psychology or paradoxical intentions. I will work on it over my christmas break. --whicky1978 02:06, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Is this actually a psycological term? I've always been under the impression that it's just an informal thing.
Actually, I think the proper term is paradoxical intent. 12.44.67.176 00:46, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This is just a list of works deemed to be reverse psychology. I don't dispute that it is factually correct, but there is no verifiable source listing these examples as relating to reverse psychology. --JianLi 03:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

In an episode of NBC's The Office, Michael tries his hand at reverse psychology when he receives an oven mitt from Phyllis during Secret Santa. He doesn't like the gift, and decides to turn Secret Santa into Yankee Swap. Complimenting the mitt's fine craftsmanship, Michael tries to trick some poor soul into wanting the mitt. (Episode: "Christmas Party")''
... as that's not reverse psychology. Funny story though. Maikel (talk) 00:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm curious, is the essay A Modest Proposal an early example of reverse psychology? Or is satire defined differently. I'm just curious. If it is I think it should be mentioned in the examples section. Thx. Zeke515 (talk) 20:46, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

This is an example of reverse psychology only if the property owner (who presumably put up the sign) wants strangers to come in. And if he did, the caption should tell that story. Otherwise, it's something else (curiosity, defiance, trespass, illiteracy, etc.). Just1thing (talk) 18:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I think the section Adorno and Horkheimer is socio-political commentary and has little or nothing to do with reverse psychology. The text is about judging the motivations of the (undefined) "culture industry"; reverse psychology is, at best, an inadequate description of the tactics noted; those are based on implicitly misleading the audience; my sense is that reverse psychology is explicit by nature. The examples are not really reverse psychology, but something like it. The degree to which readers agree or disagree with the assertions in this section is irrelevant. In my opinion this section should be deleted. 2015-02-07  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frevi (talk • contribs) 03:23, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

After a while the kid subconsciously learns that it's not in his interest, so it begins to do the direct opposite of what the parents say, kids even begin to generalized this ractance to all older people.
