Comparative Semantic Analysis of Reinforcement from the Viewpoint of Behaviorism and Holy Quran

The human being's education involves various individual and social areas. Prophets (P.B.U.T.), on their missions, have used various ways to prompt people to do good deeds and avoid devil. So, if they did not apply an efficient, effective and motivated system, their mission could be unprofitable. Prophets (P.B.U.T.) have warned people on the consequences of their behaviors in this world as well as in the hereafter. Using a qualitative approach based on a logical analysis method, this paper seeks to study the concept of reinforcement from the viewpoint of behaviorism and holy Quran. The concept of reinforcement in the holy Quran is realized from the Quranic anthropology. Accordingly, the reinforcement involves material (physical) and immaterial (spiritual) aspects, despite the priority of the spiritual dimension of human being to other dimensions, which is in accordance with his will, nature and perfection.
