Answer to Question 1

Positive reinforcement involves giving a reward in order to increase the likelihood of a behavior reoccurring. Negative reinforcement involves taking away something unpleasant in order to increase the likelihood of a behavior reoccurring. Punishment is any consequence that decreases the likelihood of a behavior reoccurring. It can involve giving something unwanted or taking away something wanted.

Answer to Question 2

Popular children are liked by many classmates. Rejected children are disliked by many classmates. Controversial children are liked and disliked by classmates. Neglected children are ignored by classmates. Parenting style contributes to the development of these groups because children imitate their parents' response to different social situations. Parents also contribute to their children's social skills and popularity through their disciplinary practices. Inconsistent discipline is associated with antisocial, aggressive behavior which leads children to be rejected by their peers.
