Speaking of research, want to have a read? Here are some good places to start:
Jean-Richard-Dit-Bressel P, Killcross S, McNally GP. Behavioral and neurobiological mechanisms of punishment: implications for psychiatric disorders. Neuropsychopharmacology. 2018;43(8):1639-1650. doi:10.1038/s41386-018-0047-3
Lukowiak T, Bridges J. Punishment strategies: First choice or last resort. JAASEP. 2010:63-72.
A great book that will sum up a bunch of research on punishments and rewards is Alfie Kohn's book Punished by Rewards.
