We compared results of descriptive and functional analyses of problem behavior for 12 participants whose descriptive data have been reported previously (Thompson & Iwata, 2001). Results indicated that in only 3 of the 12 cases was problem behavior maintained by the consequence observed most frequently during the descriptive analysis. Attention was the most common consequence for problem behavior during descriptive analyses for 8 of the 12 participants; however, maintenance of problem behavior by attention was evident for only 2 of these 8 participants.
我们比较了12名参与者问题行为的描述性分析和功能性分析结果，这些参与者的描述性数据先前已有报道（汤普森和岩田，2001年）。结果表明，在这12个案例中，只有3例问题行为是由描述性分析期间最常观察到的后果维持的。在12名参与者中的8人的描述性分析中，注意力是问题行为最常见的后果；然而，在这8名参与者中，只有2人问题行为由注意力维持的情况明显。
