Why punishment may work on some, but not all people
Why do some people make the same bad choices over and over? An inability to see how actions lead to outcomes, rather than recklessness, could be to blame.
An experimental video game designed by psychologists and neuroscientists from UNSW Sydney has thrown new light on why punishment fails to act as a deterrent to some people, while others will do so much to avoid it.
It has long been thought that people who choose behaviours with poor outcomes for themselves are so strongly motivated by the prospect of a short-term reward that the thought of being punished is dwarfed by comparison, or that they simply don’t care about the adverse consequences to their actions. But an experiment run at UNSW and Western Sydney University suggests there may be an important third explanation.
