Explanation:
Stephanie made a fuss when Alex opened the door for her, this is a reaction to behavior he had. The effect of that response acted as a positive pushishment to Alex, since the action of opening the door decreased.
Explanation: Operant conditioning as a type of learning forms associations between behaviors and resulting events. It uses reinforcers and punishments to shape behavior towards a desired behavior. Positive punishment refers to the addition or presenting of a negative consequence to an individual once an undesired behaviour is exhibited. By holding the car door open, Alex presents a stimulus to Stephanie which elicited a negative response (making a big fuss) that resulted in a decrease in the frequency of holding doors open for her (which is a reduction in the undesired behaviour).
