Eliminating inappropriate classroom behavior using a DRO schedule: a preliminary study.

The purpose of this study was to eliminate out-of-seat behavior of a 14-yr.-old boy with learning disabilities using a single-subject design. Based on functional analysis, a Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior interval schedule was used to eliminate an inappropriate behavior. During baseline, an average of 15 out-of-seat behavior problems were recorded. After 4 wk. of intervention, the inappropriate out-of-seat behavior was eliminated and on-task behavior improved.

Effects of guidance intervention on perceived school behavior and personal self-concept: a preliminary study.

In this preliminary study, 10 of 20 gifted fifth-grade students experiencing stress were randomly assigned to either a control group or structured guidance intervention. Significant differences on measures of self-concept were noted between the treated and the control group. The treated group also significantly improved on self-reported measures of self-concept and perceived school behavior. Teachers reported less acting out and improved compliance.
