Which of the following would be considered Negative Punishment? Group of answer choices Getting a spanking Losing a privilege Avoiding a traffic ticket Increasing chores

Losing a privilege  

Explanation:

Negative punishment is a term coined by BF Skinner and is associated with the theory of operant conditioning.

Negative punishment is a strategy designed to encourage undesirable behavior to stop happening or to happen less often. In this strategy, an individual loses something relevant to him, as a punishment for the existence of an unwanted behavior. The goal is that the loss of that relevant "something" causes the individual to lose that behavior.

In the options shown in the question above, we can say that "losing a privilege" is an example of negative punishment. For example: a teenager loses the freedom to go to parties on weekends as a punishment for cheating on the test. As this teenager no longer wants to lose the privilege of going to parties he will no longer stick to tests.

Asking yourself questions about how and why things work is a research strategy. A research is a systematic process that allows human knowledge. It means to provide new knowledge or building a new one,  share, reject, amplify, detailed and actualize of previous work. When you check your class material you are also doing research. It means you find ways to build your lack of knowledge.
