Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bauman, and Richman developed an assessment method to identify the operant functions of self-injurious behavior. In this study, a similar method was used to assess the operant functions of aggression displayed by children and adolescents with developmental disabilities. Although previous research has shown that aggression is an operant behavior, there has been no comprehensive analysis of aggression using analog functional analysis method. Eight children and adolescents participated. The experimental conditions involved attention, escape, materials, no interaction, and control. Results for 7 of the 8 participants identified clear operant functions (positive or negative reinforcement) for aggression. For 1 child, subsequent analyses suggested that aggression was possibly sensitive to peer attention as reinforcement.
岩田、多尔西、斯利弗、鲍曼和里奇曼开发了一种评估方法，以确定自我伤害行为的操作性功能。在本研究中，使用了一种类似的方法来评估发育障碍儿童和青少年所表现出的攻击行为的操作性功能。尽管先前的研究表明攻击行为是一种操作性行为，但尚未使用模拟功能分析方法对攻击行为进行全面分析。八名儿童和青少年参与了研究。实验条件包括关注、逃避、物品、无互动和对照。8名参与者中有7名的结果确定了攻击行为明确的操作性功能（正强化或负强化）。对于1名儿童，后续分析表明攻击行为可能对同伴关注作为强化敏感。
