Punishment alone is effective to reduce aggression.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Punishment alone is not an effective method to reduce aggression. It may temporarily suppress the aggressive behavior but it does not address the underlying reasons for the aggression or teach alternative, more appropriate behaviors. Other methods such as positive reinforcement, modeling non-aggressive behavior, and teaching conflict resolution skills are more effective in reducing aggression in the long-run.
