    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Problem behaviors in children often cluster together, forming consistent patterns specific to different environments like home or school. Intervention in one setting can influence behaviors across multiple settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Child Psychology
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Understanding behavioral patterns in children is crucial for effective intervention.
    • Problem behaviors in children often present as complex repertoires rather than isolated actions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the covariation within behavior repertoires of children with behavioral problems.
    • To investigate the stability of these behavioral covariations over time and across settings.
    • To assess the impact of contingency management on behavior covariations and across-setting effects.

    Main Methods:

    • Longitudinal observation of two boys over approximately three years in home and school settings.
    • Utilized a coded observation system to score child-behavior and social-environment categories.
    • Employed intercorrelation analyses to identify behavior covariations, followed by contingency management and reversal phases.

    Main Results:

    • Each child exhibited distinct groups of covarying behaviors, specific to home and school settings.
    • These behavioral covariations remained stable throughout the experimental phases and long-term follow-up.
    • Contingency management interventions demonstrated across-setting effects, influencing behaviors beyond the targeted environment.

    Conclusions:

    • Behavioral covariations in problem children are consistent and setting-specific.
    • Contingency management can yield broader behavioral changes than initially applied.
    • The findings highlight the interconnectedness of behaviors within a child's repertoire.
