Using a procedure similar to the one described by Conger and Killeen (1974), we evaluated levels of attending for 25 college students who participated in either a 20-min (n = 12) or 30-min (n = 13) discussion on juvenile delinquency. Confederates delivered statements of agreement (e.g., "I agree with that point") according to independent variable-interval schedules. Pooled results were evaluated using three generalized formulations of the matching law, and showed that matching was more likely during the first 5 min of the discussion than during the last 5 min. Individual data for 7 of 9 participants were better described by the generalized response-rate matching equation than by the generalized time-allocation matching equation when response allocation was characterized in terms of frequency rather than duration.
我们采用了一种与康格和基林(1974年)所描述的程序类似的方法,对25名大学生的参与程度进行了评估。这些学生参与了一场关于青少年犯罪的讨论,讨论时长为20分钟(n = 12)或30分钟(n = 13)。同盟者根据自变量间隔时间表发表赞同声明(例如,“我同意这一点”)。使用匹配定律的三种广义公式对汇总结果进行了评估,结果表明,与讨论的最后5分钟相比,在讨论的前5分钟内更有可能出现匹配情况。当以频率而非持续时间来描述反应分配时,9名参与者中有7名的个体数据用广义反应率匹配方程比用广义时间分配匹配方程能得到更好的描述。
