According to economic theory, opportunity cost is the cost of choosing one option over another, and in this case, choosing to exhibit bad behavior has a higher opportunity cost. This means that the more one realizes the negative consequences of their actions, the less likely they are to exhibit bad behavior. Therefore, a higher opportunity cost of bad behavior results in a decreased likelihood of exhibiting bad behavior.
