Well first off, don't post your age. Second off, looking this topic up in a Psychology textbook should be a big help. Also there is plenty of data on this on the web because it is a very thoroughly researched topic. Try looking up operant behavior, as that should pretty much tell you what you need to know. Also, children are motivated more by reward than punishment. That is because punishment is not really something that should be used at all. One reason is that kids are not cognitively advanced enough to string actions and consequences together until around age 8 or 9. Also, the only appropriate time for punishment for a young kid is when they are doing something dangerous, such as playing with an electrical socket, or violent, such as fighting. Even then, the only appropriate punishment would be to grab the child's hand quickly away from the light socket, as this will startle them, and reduce the chance of them doing it again, or to LIGHTLY hit the child's hand. Also punishment must be SWIFT, APPROPRIATE, and CONSISTENT. That means that the punishment must fit the crime. For example, if a child stays out riding their bike for an hour too long, the correct punishment would be to take that hour away from their next day's free time, and warn them that if it happens again, they will have to stay inside the next day. So, basically, don't overreact. Also, punishment is rarely effective if the punishment does not fir the crime. Then, it causes resentment and anger in the child, directed towards the punisher, and that relationship will weaken, if only slightly. And for all you parents that may say I'm wrong, these are all facts, that have been proven by hundreds of studies.

Be for you start, write down all the pros and cons on reward and punishment, you may be able to go to the county court house and pick up some information on how much punishment you are wondering about, because too much and the parents can end up in court and too little and they walk all over the parent, I would say if the parents are well off they could lean more towards the rewards , such as taking them some where special, or to their choosing, but if they are not then they may lean a little more toward the military way.

Go to your public library, or maybe even you school library. There is a certain format that a research paper has to follow.
Make sure you have a "Works Cited " page.
Go to Google and type in "Research paper format". You will find a site for Purdue ( Owl something) as well as other sites. I don't know how long your teacher wants it to be. Be sure to ask. This will give you a good start.

The saying goes " I can see your lips moving but all I can hear is blah blah blah". Teenagers tend to hear this when they are being criticised. A reward system is all well & good, but they still need discipline & consequences for bad behaviour, so basically I think they need both.

I think if one has the power & guts to tolerate they are better off with reward but still sometimes punishment is essential

"Spankings or Praise": Which produces the desired behavior?
In researching this paper, I relied on several sources. Among them were articles from scientific journals, the popular press, and anecdotal evidence from parents 'on-the-ground'.
I hope to show that _______ is the better method and my evidence will support that.

First start with your hypothesis. From there it will be easy. Sorry for the late answer. The title won't be hard to figure out when you're done

It's been awhile, but maybe you should start out what you're doing and the reason why you decided to pick it. Good luck!
