Vicarious punishment occurs when an individual reduces the frequency of a particular response after observing another person being punished for that response. What evidence do we see that Mindy has experienced vicarious punishment?

What will be an ideal response?


Mindy stops herself when she begins to point to the girl in the yellow dress, presumably because she has previously observed Jonathan being chastised for pointing. It should be noted, however, that Mindy tattles on the girl in the yellow dress even though Mr. Corbet has scolded Jonathan for doing so; one possible explanation is that Mindy doesn't know what tattling means.
