Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Formal sanctions are those applied by people who hold official positions or roles, such as police officers or judges. Informal sanctions, on the other hand, are applied by others in society without official authority or designation. Positive and negative sanctions refer to the outcomes or consequences of behavior, rather than who is applying them.
