Professor King's emphasis on rewards and punishments aligns with the learning approach, which focuses on how environmental factors influence behavior through classical and operant conditioning. The other options (sociocultural, cognitive, and psychodynamic) involve concepts such as social norms, mental processes, and unconscious motives, respectively, which do not seem to be emphasized by Professor King's perspective.
