Assigned 64 urban disadvantaged fourth- and fifth-grade students to either a social problem-solving training, response cost, social problem-solving training plus response cost, or control group. Those exposed to problem-solving training improved on measures of alternative thinking and consequential thinking skills. Training did not affect teacher ratings of student behavior. (JAC)
