A Behavior Game for the Reduction of Inappropriate Classroom Behaviors.

Hegerle, Dana R.; And Others

School Psychology Digest, v8 n3 p339-43 Sum 1979

A group-contingency behavior game significantly decreased disruptive classroom behavior after five weeks. The classroom observers gradually phased themselves out of the program, while training the teacher to continue the game unaided. Further analysis of the relative influences of peer pressure and competition v social reinforcement is needed. (CP)
