Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that the individual is less likely to wear the tie again after experiencing teasing and laughter indicates that the behavior (wearing the tie) has been punished. This is an example of the principle of punishment, which is a consequence that decreases the likelihood of a behavior being repeated. Reinforcement would have increased the likelihood of the behavior being repeated. The tie is not associated with any conditioned or unconditioned response.
