Topic 4.1
What is one potential ethical issue with using positive punishment in behavior modification?
Positive punishment always consists of physical harm which violates ethics guidelines.
Giving rewards for unwanted behavior encourages that behavior further which goes against ethics principles.
It can lead to adverse emotional responses and aggression among recipients.
Positive punishment doesn't work because people don't learn from their mistakes.
