Summary
This systematic review found that most intervention programs effectively reduce disruptive behavior in primary school students. While the number of programs is growing, more research is needed to build a comprehensive network for interventions.
Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Child Development
- Behavioral Science
Background:
- Disruptive behavior in primary school students presents significant challenges to learning environments.
- Effective intervention strategies are crucial for student well-being and academic success.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a mixed systematic review of international literature on research and programs for reducing disruptive behavior in primary school students.
- To identify effective intervention programs and analyze their characteristics.
Main Methods:
- A mixed systematic review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines was conducted across six databases.
- Studies published between 2004-2020 in Spanish and English were selected using UNESCO and ERIC Thesaurus terms.
- Thirty-five articles detailing intervention programs were analyzed in depth.
Main Results:
- The majority of reviewed programs targeted the primary education stage.
- Questionnaires and observation charts were the predominant instruments used for assessment.
- A significant 77.14% of the analyzed intervention programs demonstrated effectiveness in meeting their objectives.
Conclusions:
- The international scientific literature shows a growing number of intervention programs for reducing disruptive behavior in primary school students.
- Despite positive trends, a substantial need exists for developing a robust network of interventions to support primary education.

01:28Conduct Disorder
184
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

01:24Operant Conditioning Intervention
165
Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.

01:21Behavior Modification

Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors. Rather than concentrating on intrinsic personality traits, behavioral approaches suggest that even longstanding habits can be modified by changing the reward contingencies that maintain them.

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

01:23Primary and Secondary Reinforcers
485
In psychology, reinforcement is a key concept in behavior modification. B.F. Skinner demonstrated this with his experiments involving rats in what is known as a Skinner box. The rats learned to press a lever to receive food, a primary reinforcer that fulfilled their innate need for nourishment.
Effective reinforcers for humans vary depending on the individual and the context. Primary reinforcers, such as food, water, sleep, shelter, and pleasure, have inherent value and satisfy basic biological...

A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.
