Question

When a parent spanks a child for hitting another child, the parent is ____ the behavior for the child, which will affect the effectiveness of the punishment?

Answer 1

the answer to this question is modelling the exact behavior.
When a child saw his/her parents hits another child, that child will indirectly receive approval/acknowledgement to justify that certain behavior.
This will most liekly lead to the child thinking that it's okay to mimic the behavior of his/her parents
