Three clases of second graders served as subjects in this study of the effects of two types of intervention programs upon stealing: (1) an antistealing lecture with no specific contingency implied, and (2) a direct group contingency applied, whereby children were rewarded with (a) extra free time for no thefts, (b) allowed normal free time if stolen items were returned, and (c) punished with lost of free if stolen items were not returned. A multiple-baseline design across the three classes showed the group contingency to be effective in reducing stealing behavior; the anti-stealing lecture was ineffective.
在这项关于两种干预方案对偷窃行为影响的研究中,三个二年级班级的学生作为受试者:(1)一场未暗示任何特定意外情况的反偷窃讲座,以及(2)实施直接的小组意外情况处理,即如果孩子们没有偷窃行为,就奖励(a)额外的自由活动时间;如果归还了偷来的物品,就允许正常的自由活动时间;如果没有归还偷来的物品,就以剥夺自由活动时间作为惩罚。对这三个班级采用的多基线设计表明,小组意外情况处理在减少偷窃行为方面是有效的;反偷窃讲座则无效。
