Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Honking your horn at someone who cuts into your lane in a dangerous fashion is an example of an informal negative sanction. It is not an official or formal form of punishment, but rather a social norm enforced by peers in the form of disapproval or criticism. Honking your horn is an informal negative sanction because it is a disapproval communicated through an unofficial channel, rather than an official one like a ticket or fine.
