The present study attempted to evaluate experimentally the relationship between two response classes, enuresis and oppositional behavior. One child who had a long history of bed-wetting was observed in his home setting. Parents' reports and initial observations confirmed that the child was oppositional much of the time. When a timeout operation and differential attention were presented, removed, and presented again, the frequency of oppositional behavior decreased, increased, and decreased accordingly. Fluctuations in enuretic activity also correlated with the presence and absence of the timeout and differential attention operations. The suppression of oppositional behavior and enuretic activity persisted over an 18-month treatment period. It was suggested that the parental operations performed on oppositional behavior may have led to an increase in the parents' social reward value. Cessation of enuretic activity was explained in terms of a shift in parental reinforcer effectiveness.
本研究试图从实验上评估两种反应类型，遗尿和对立行为之间的关系。一个有长期尿床史的孩子在他的家庭环境中被观察到。父母的报告和初步观察证实，孩子大部分时间都很对立。当使用暂离操作和区别性注意时，对立行为的频率相应地减少、增加和减少。遗尿活动的波动也与暂离和区别性注意操作的存在和不存在相关。对立行为和遗尿活动的抑制在 18 个月的治疗期间持续存在。有人认为，父母对对立行为的操作可能导致父母的社会奖励价值增加。遗尿活动的停止可以用父母强化物有效性的转变来解释。
