Answer for Reverse PsychologyReverse psychology is when you do something and hope to get the opposite reaction. For example, if you wanted to get someone to take what you were offering, you would say they couldn't have it.

This is often used with little children. For example, you want your child to have some salad. You put it out to all members of the family at dinner time but tell your child "you can't have any of this tonight". Often then, the child will demand to have it!
