Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brian's frequent punishment at home may lead to him becoming aggressive or defiant, which could result in him getting into fights at school. This behavior could also result in poor grades or other forms of misbehavior. Quiet compliance, as suggested in option A, is less likely given the heavy use of punishment. Option D is incorrect as research has shown that punishment is not an effective discipline strategy in the long run, and can have negative effects on a child's behavior in multiple settings.
