Activity classifier motivation

PTPs are classified on the basis of their structure and sequence [3], They can be subgrouped into classical nonreceptor-type nontransmembrane PTPs, receptorlike membrane-localized PTPs, and the dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) [4], Classical PTPs mostly recognize phospho-tyrosine as their substrate, whereas DUSPs are also known to dephosphorylate proteins on serine or threonine, and even phospholipids or RNA can be substrates [3], All PTPs contain a conserved CXXXXXR motive (single-letter amino acid code). The cysteine is the catalytically active moiety. Another residue that is involved in the catalytic mechanism (with some exceptions [5]) is an aspartic acid in the so-called WPD (Trp-Pro-Asp) loop, which is distinct from the active site [4] (Figure 1). 

Figure 11.6 classifies various activities according to the type of consequence relative to the task (natural vs. extra) and the task performer (internal vs. external). While these activities illustrate particular types of consequences available to motivate performance, the categorizations are neither mutually exclusive nor inclusive. Even the most straightforward task classifications, for example, can overlap with other categories, according to perceptions of the performer. 

You can treat actively caring behavior just like any other target behavior. Many interventions that increase the occmrence of safe work behaviors can be used to boost the frequency of actively caring behaviors. The four chapters in Section 4 covered principles and procedures for directly influencing behavior. You will recall that the techniques were classified as activators and consequences, with activators considered directive or instructional, and consequences being motivational. Let us take up that discussion again because it applies to actively caring behavior.
