Question

Of the following assumptions about the potential for violence, which does not belong? Assume that the individual a. feels a number of debilitating emotions. b. is experiencing disconnectedness and rootlessness. c. understands and conforms when negative contingencies are stated and used. d. needs to have limits set and provide options that define consequences for violence.

Answer 1

the answer is: C. understands and conforms when negative contingencies are stated and used.

Negative contingencies are the response that people made when facing some sort of unwanted stimulus.

The thing is, most people actually tend to not to conform with their negative contingencies and most of them do not resort to violence as a response. Ignoring or fleeing away would be the most common option.
