Stacey dislikes physical education class because her classmates tease her about her lack of strength and coordination.
One day Stacey unintentionally hits one of her classmates, and the teacher sends her to the principal's office for the remainder of the class session. Stacey becomes increasingly aggressive in class and so spends more and more time in the principal's office. From an operant conditioning perspective, we can explain this situation by saying that Stacey is:
a. Being vicariously reinforced for her aggression
b. Being vicariously punished for her aggression
c. Being negatively reinforced for her aggression
d. Undergoing extinction in her aggression
