Extrinsic Motivation and Antisocial Behaviour in Children

The problem with Punishment...
Generally ineffective as a motivational strategy. "prevention works better than remediation".

Excessive displays of punishment may actually promote socially deviant behaviour (e.g. link research connecting corporal punishment to truancy, drinking, stealing)

Alternative to punishment; differential reinforcement

Cognitive evaluation theory...
Inform vs control

Managing antisocial behaviour in children
externally proffered praise can reinforce pro-social behaviour as well as facilitate intrinsic motivation, as opposed to undermining it. (expectancy vs tangible vs verbal)

Enhancing learning behaviour through extrinsic rewards/incentives (e.g. token economies)

Moral Motivation (Brooks et al.) Rest's four component model of morality
