[Talking about the "electric shock therapy" to deal with Internet addiction more than a decade ago】
Years ago I saw a similar report "Teen Net Rehabilitation Center... Electric shock therapy", the results of which were once popular throughout the country, but in the end, because of the "greed" of private individuals and the "inhumanity" of technology, more families and teenagers were victimized!
Psychology has always explained the nature of human beings, and it has also continued to guide people to better survive.
Behaviorism uses classical conditioning and operational conditioning to explain the development and maintenance of behavior. Operant conditioning focuses on the effect of a certain type of result on the frequency with which behavior occurs. The researchers called the result of an increase in the frequency of a certain behavior due to the result of a satisfactory outcome "reinforcement" and the result of a decrease in behavior due to the unsatisfactory outcome "punishment."
Simply put, "punishment" is to give an aversive stimulus to "undesirable behavior" to reduce the frequency of this behavior.
………………
Practice has proved that the effectiveness of punishment is limited and inhumane, it does not give people appropriate behavior, but only reduces undesirable behavior.
In this way, parents and teachers "punish" or "teach" children are extreme and irrational, and should be analyzed and solved from the root cause of the child's problems, and handed over to him to use other methods to deal with setback situations!
