    Area of Science:

    • Educational Psychology
    • Behavioral Interventions
    • School Psychology

    Background:

    • School psychologists consulted an elementary school with a high population of Mexican-American students.
    • Student absenteeism was identified as a primary target for intervention.
    • Previous behavior modification programs in the school showed success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of contingent rewards in improving student attendance.
    • To explore factors influencing the success of behavioral interventions in schools.

    Main Methods:

    • A between-groups experimental design was employed.
    • Contingent rewards were implemented to influence attendance rates.
    • Attendance data was analyzed to determine the intervention's impact.

    Main Results:

    • The study found no significant improvement in student attendance.
    • The intervention did not yield the desired changes in absenteeism.

    Conclusions:

    • A more thorough behavioral analysis of absenteeism is needed.
    • Methodological limitations of between-groups designs may impact results.
    • Consultant familiarity with the community is essential for effective interventions.
    • The success of local school psychologists highlights the importance of community integration.
