When do you find punishment is the most effective? What are the things you need to be aware of—if you need to implement punishment?
I find punishment to be most effective when it is scheduled to occur immediately after the undesirable response takes place. Also, punishment should be highly constant with the response such that everytime a behaviour is performed, or should be invariably followed by the punishment. Another important variable in this context, that individuals should also be aware of which implementing punishment is determining the nature and degree of punishment. Punishment should be chosen such that it makes an impact of a personally relevant level. The intensity of the punishment should also be carefully established based on the severity of the behaviour as well.
