A fear of punishment was an anxiety disorder characterized by an intense and irrational fear of being punished or reprimanded.
In 2268, while having a discussion about the children, James T. Kirk and Spock assumed what would make the children immune, which was possible. Kirk then thought the children would have been exempted by conscious design and their present behavior explained by a fear of punishment. (TOS: "And the Children Shall Lead")
