To what behaviors do attending adults respond? A replication.

D Felce, H Saxby, U de Kock

    American Journal of Mental Deficiency

    Summary

    Staff in small community houses encouraged appropriate behavior in adults with profound intellectual disabilities more than in larger institutions. This suggests setting size may influence staff interaction and resident outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Psychology
    • Developmental Disabilities Research
    • Institutional Care Analysis

    Background:

    • Replication of Warren and Mondy (1971) study on staff responses.
    • Investigation into staff interactions with individuals with severe and profound intellectual disabilities.
    • Comparison of residential settings: institutions, large community units, and small community houses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To observe and compare staff responses to resident behavior across different residential settings.
    • To identify differences in staff encouragement of appropriate behavior.
    • To explore factors influencing staff interaction patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • Observational study replicating a previous research design.
    • Data collection on staff responses to the behavior of 90 adults with severe and profound intellectual disabilities.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparative analysis of staff behavior in institutional, large community, and small community settings.

    • Main Results:

    • Staff in institutions and large community units exhibited similar response problems as noted by Warren and Mondy, particularly a lack of responding to appropriate behavior.
    • Staff in small community houses demonstrated significantly greater encouragement of appropriate behavior.
    • A 3:1 discrimination ratio in attending to appropriate versus other behavior was observed in small community houses.

    Conclusions:

    • Smaller residential settings may foster more positive staff-resident interactions.
    • Differences in setting size, organization, or staff training could explain observed variations in staff behavior.
    • Findings suggest environmental factors significantly impact the quality of care for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
