Answer 1

Negative punishment

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative punishment: The term negative punishment is a part of the theory of operant conditioning given by B.F.Skinner. The term negative punishment is defined as a process of removing or taking something advantageous or desirable away from an organism to reduce or diminish the occurrence of a specific behavior.

In other words, negative punishment which is a part of punishment reflects the process of removal of a few favorite stimuli or items from an individual's life.
