The Lasting Effect of a Financial Penalty

A daycare center, hoping to reduce the number of parents arriving late, implemented a small monetary fine for late pickups. After the fine was in place for several weeks, it was removed. However, the rate of late pickups did not decrease back to the level it was at before the fine was introduced. Based on principles of social preference, explain why the behavior of being late persisted even after the financial penalty was gone.
