Why do psychologists prefer negative reinforcement to punishment as a way to shape behavior?
When you punish people, you are exhibiting behavior that under regular circumstances is very bad, and they may learn by observation that that is ok given a reasonable excuse.
What is difference between negative reinforcement and punishment in psychology?
Punishment is a moral concept; someone has done something wrong and therefore deserves to suffer a punishment. Negative reinforcement is not a moral concept but a pragmatic concept; we do not want someone to do something, therefore we give them a reason not to do it, in the form of some undesired consequence. Of course, the actual process of either punishment or negative reinforcement could turn out to be exactly the same. Only the motive is different.

Psychologists prefer negative reinforcement to punishment as a way to shape?
Negative reinforcement encourages behaviors to continue with the incentive of taking away something bad. Punishment encourages bad behaviors to stop through fear of consequence. Psychologists recommend using negative reinforcement over punishment because it encourages desirable behaviors instead of removing undesirable behaviors without putting a desirable alternative in its place, and because it is based on a positive hope for reward, rather than fear of consequence.
