Class-Wide Positive Behavior Support and Group Contingencies: Examining a Positive Variation of the Good Behavior Game
Wright, Robert A.; McCurdy, Barry L.
Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, v14 n3 p173-180 Jul 2012
The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is a powerful group contingency with a history of documented empirical support. The purpose of this study was to compare two interdependent group contingencies, the GBG and a positive variation, the Caught Being Good Game (CBGG), in a school implementing school-wide positive behavior support. A kindergarten and fourth-grade classroom teacher with 17 and 20 students, respectively, implemented both versions of the game in a counterbalanced fashion. Using a withdrawal design, results showed similar effects on disruptive and on-task behaviors. The CBGG is discussed as an effective variation of the GBG that is acceptable to both teachers and students. (Contains 2 figures.)
