Can't it be said that undue praise will make the author work less hard, having achieved the dopamine high of accomplishment? Where as criticism can spur harder work from people set out to "prove themselves." I'm not saying either way is good or bad, I'm just saying both of our examples are anecdotal and either can have the desire effect. All depends on the criticism and the outlook and personality of the recipient.
