Incarceration and Punishment
The harshness or severity and intensity of the stimuli are incredibly significant factors
to take into consideration in punishment (Son et al., 2019). While intensity and severity are
both terms that refer to the physical dimensions of a given stimulus, severity relates to the
extent of suppression that could be achieved by a given punishing environmental stimuli (Son
et al., 2019).
A punisher that is very intense but only provides modest suppression is regarded mild,
while a punisher that is very low intensity yet can completely suppress is deemed quite severe
(Johnson, 2019). In other words, it is not the intensity that is vital; rather, it is the amount of
suppression obtained that is more significant. For illustration, you may spank a child very hard
and still not see much of a difference in their conduct. But rather, removing their favorite toy
would result in a substantial reduction in their inappropriate behavior. In other words, the
intensity and harshness of the stimuli are the first elements to consider when determining
whether or not to penalize someone.
