Negative reinforcement only harbors hate, revengeful actions against the perpetrator, and usually dose not stop any bad or poor actions in society. Punishment on the other hand * with a reasonable person can/dose register when they realize they were wrong, and even sometimes deserve such and such a punishment.
Source(s): Exactly why when I punished any child, I explained clearly why and the reasons behind the scolding or said why I took away a privilege, **never hitting anyone or being abusive verbally either. Hitting is negative reinforcement, *making any fearful is just plain *abusive.
