Two boys are fighting on school grounds during recess. Fighting is against school rules, and the boys know this. Even so, a teacher who sees them lets them continue to fight rather than punishing them for doing so.
Judging from what psychologists say regarding what happens when expected punishments don't occur, we can predict that these boys will be:
a. Less likely to fight in the future
b. More likely to fight in the future
c. Likely to feel guilty when they stop fighting
d. Likely to imitate more appropriate social behaviors in the future
