🗯️Two Psychologists. one question. completely opposite answers.
✧Does Punishment effectively change behaviour?✧
SKINNER said NO
punishment suppresses behaviour temporarily. remove the punishment.. behaviour returns. teaches what not to do. never what to do instead.
BANDURA said IT DEPENDS.
seeing someone else punished — vicarious punishment — changes observer behaviour without direct experience. context and consis…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @PsychCorner. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
