The present investigation was designed to study the relationship between extraversion and modes of reinforcement in verbal operant conditioning. A 4 × 2 randomized block design was replicated ten times. Eighty graduate and post‐graduate male students were individually subjected to the standard Taffel conditioning procedure. When the numbers of conditioned responses produced by introverts and extraverts were compared, it was found that: (1) under negative reinforcement (‘bad’ and electric shock), with both the female and male experimenters, and under positive reinforcement (‘good’) with the male experimenter, the introverts' score was the higher of the two; (2) under positive reinforcement (‘good’) with the female experimenter, the extraverts' score was higher than that of the introverts
