Positive and Negative Sanctions
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A positive sanction rewards conforming behavior; a negative sanction penalizes departure. Either may be formal or informal.
Show
A bonus and a fine are formal; a compliment and a raised eyebrow are informal. All four teach the same rule.
Watch for
Students often assume rewards are informal and punishments formal, but the bonus and fine above show both directions run through both channels.
