Answer: A- negative reinforcement trap
Explanation: By B. F. Skinner, The negative reinforcement trap occurs when a parent try to avoid a situation by engaging in a behaviour that suits the request of a child due to the child's plead or whinings. It is a type of behavior that is likely to occur in the future again because the child feels his request was granted and will always whine or cry to get his choice satisfied.
Negative reinforcement - like positive reinforcement -plays a role in maintaining behaviors that are beneficial and sometimes not. Most parents, inadvertently reinforce behaviour. For example
Maryam's mother's behavior of allowing the child leave her room dirty is negatively reinforced because she feels allowing her will make the winning stop. The child's whining is positively reinforced because she learns if she whines loud and long enough, she will be allowed to do as she pleases.
