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

Question 2

John is caught cheating on a homework assignment. He suffers no consequences for doing so, even though cheating is in clear violation of school policy.
 
  Given what psychologists have learned about what happens when consequences of learners' behaviors are inconsistent with learners' expectations, which one of the following predictions can we make about John's future behavior?
   a. He will cheat less frequently.
   b. He will cheat as frequently as he has in the past.
   c. He will cheat more frequently.
   d. He will complain to his parents.
