BACKGROUND
The Questions About Behavioral Function (QABF) correctly identifies maintaining variables of challenging behaviour. However, for adults who have a long history of challenging behaviours, identifying one clear function of the maladaptive behaviour is difficult. Additionally, the person may develop multiple functions of their maladaptive behaviour.
METHOD
Characteristics of single versus multiple maintaining factors were evaluated using the QABF for 88 adults with intellectual disabilities (ID). The reliability of single versus multiple maintaining factors for aggression and self-injurious behaviour was analysed. Multiple factors were analysed in terms of type of maintaining factors, and their order of importance by challenging behaviour was noted.
RESULTS
The majority of behaviours examined were maintained by multiple functions. Reliability was higher for behaviours with a single maintaining variable when compared to behaviours with multiple maintaining variables.
CONCLUSION
These data appear to have implications for aetiology, assessment, and treatment of challenging behaviours in individuals with ID.
背景
行为功能问题问卷（QABF）能够正确识别具有挑战性的行为的维持变量。然而，对于有长期挑战性行为历史的成年人来说，确定一种明确的适应不良行为功能是困难的。此外，个体的适应不良行为可能会发展出多种功能。
方法
使用QABF对88名智力残疾（ID）成年人的单一维持因素与多种维持因素的特征进行评估。分析了攻击行为和自伤行为的单一维持因素与多种维持因素的可靠性。从维持因素类型方面分析了多种因素，并记录了它们在具有挑战性的行为中的重要性顺序。
结果
所检查的大多数行为由多种功能维持。与具有多种维持变量的行为相比，具有单一维持变量的行为的可靠性更高。
结论
这些数据似乎对智力残疾个体具有挑战性的行为的病因、评估和治疗具有启示意义。
