Question: When punishment is applied after every instance of an unwanted target behavior, it is generally more effective. true or false? provide evidence proving your answer is correct
False. According to the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, punishment should be used as a last resort. Evidence suggests that when punishment is applied after every instance of an unwanted behavior it can become less effective and can even lead to an increase in the frequency of the behavior. Research has found that punishment is most effective when used selectively and, when necessary, consistently and without fail.
