I worked in social care for about a year with a lad who would react to nothing but reverse psychology. It depends on the person and the situation.

Mr Benevolent

There's no way I'm thanking your OP, OP. Sorry.

I gave you a pity thanks.

Minus x plus = minus ; reverse psychology
Minus x minus = plus ; reverse, reverse psychology, or reverse psychology squared (RP2)!
