Two boys are fighting on school grounds during recess. Fighting is against school rules, and the boys know this. Even so, a teacher who sees them lets them continue to fight rather than stopping them and providing a negative consequence. Judging from what social cognitive theorists say regarding what happens when expected punishments don't occur, we can predict that these boys will be:

A. less likely to fight in the future.

B. more likely to fight in the future.

C. likely to feel guilty unless they stop fighting.

D. likely to imitate more appropriate social behaviors in the future.
