Answer:

The correct answer is: Positive reinforcement.

Answer:

b) negative reinforcement

Explanation:

Negative reinforcement has to do with rewarding or responding to a certain stimulus or behaviour by respond in a negative or averse manner.

Mary tries to change Pearl's behaviour by refusing to making a comment or responding to Pearl speaking her native language when she's capable of expressing herself in English. They do this so she would learn to speak English more and get used to it.

Pearl's family are using negative reinforcement to try and get her to speak English more often. If she uses her native language, she is ignored and not replied to unless she repeats her words in English. Ignoring her is the averse method her family is using to get her to respond to the stimulus of speaking English.

natima [27]
The answer is helplessness theory or learned helplessness. It is when people feel helpless to avoid negative situations because previous experience has shown them that they do not have control. An example is imagine that you just failed a major test. There are some things that you could say were the reason for that: 'I'm stupid.' 'I didn't study hard enough.' 'The test was too hard.'

Each of those reasons can be seen as a not the same type of attribution. An attribution is an aspect that a person blames for the consequence of a situation. The three types of attribution is global, stable, and internal. An internal attribution is any attribution that gives the root of an event as something to do with the person, as contrasting to something in the outside world. A stable attribution is one that doesn't change over time or across situations. Finally, a global attribution is the acceptance that the factors affecting the consequence relates to a large number of situations, not just one of them.

Speculate on how the behavioral ecology of nonhuman primates may be helpful in explaining some human behaviors
tino4ka555 [31]
<span>Anthropologist Frans de Waal has done experiments on bonobos and other primates to show that they use a type of morality. If one bonobo (bonobo A) sees that another bonobo (bonobo B) is being deprived of food, bonobo A may refuse to eat its own food as protest against bonobo B's treatment. This phenomenon demonstrates that nonhuman primates express a form of morality and may help us understand where our own human morality comes from.</span>
