I'm confused by that example.
Let's say, by increased attractiveness you mean he started talking more attractively, then that is an outward change, but then the question is whether it was brought about by an inward change.
If the change happened without him thinking about it and only because of his surroundings as a seaman, - which is the point of your post - then it's surely not an inward change.
But if he changed upon reflection of his experience at sea and consciously changing his behaviour, then your robot analogy breaks.
Help!
I meant your second option. You're right, "inward/outward" was an inaccurate wording - English is my second language and I sometimes get carried away with the sound of words instead of their meaning, as is customary in Russian. Would've been better to say "change on the outside drives change on the inside". I will mull it over a bit and maybe change the title.
