Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A salary increase is a positive consequence that can reinforce good performance, incentivizing an employee to continue working hard.

Answer: C
 Positive consequences (rewards) and negative consequences (punishments) can both induce behavior change - whether it's through incentivization or fear of consequences.

Answer: E
 Knowledge acquisition can lead to a positive behavior change, as the individual gains insight into the benefits of behaving differently.

Answer: A
 Attaching no consequences to a behavior is likely to result in the behavior continuing, as there is no incentive to change.

Answer: D
 A disciplinary layoff is a negative consequence and can be used to punish poor performance or behavior, with the aim of discouraging it in future.
