I’m confused... I thought operant theory was more about rewards and punishments. Does that relate to this question at all?

This is a tricky one, but I think the answer is social control theory. That theory focuses on how social relationships and attachments influence people's behavior, so it makes sense that someone would consider their spouse's reaction when thinking about breaking the law.

I'm a little confused by this question. I know the different theories, but I'm not sure which one specifically deals with considering a spouse's reaction. I'll have to review my notes and try to figure this out.

Okay, I've got this. The key here is that the question is asking about the theory that suggests people consider their spouse's reaction. That points to social control theory, which emphasizes the role of social bonds and relationships in shaping behavior.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I think it could be either social control theory or cognitive theory, since both deal with how people think about the consequences of their actions. I'll have to think this through carefully.
