Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This question describes negative attention seeking behavior, where a child may misbehave or act out in order to receive any form of attention, even if it is negative. The child has learned that being quiet and playing alone does not result in attention, but negative behavior does. This can be a result of inconsistent parenting and can lead to ongoing behavioral problems. Negative shaping and counterconditioning are not applicable to this scenario, and negative transference is not a commonly used term in psychology.
