Patricia wants to decrease the frequency of her teenage daughter's misbehavior. Give examples of positive and negative punishment techniques Patricia might consider in order to encourage her daughter to behave properly.
What will be an ideal response?
Punishment is a consequence that decreases the likelihood that a behavior will occur. In positive punishment, a behavior decreases when it is followed by a (typically unpleasant) stimulus. In negative punishment, a behavior decreases when a positive stimulus is removed from it. Making her daughter to do extra chores would be one example of a positive punishment technique. Taking away her daughter's car keys and grounding her would be an example of negative punishment.
