    This study found self-control strategies improved hyperactive boys' behavior during seat work but not group activities. Activity levels remained unchanged, with schedule shifts impacting younger boys most.

    Area of Science:

    • Child Psychology
    • Behavioral Interventions
    • Special Education

    Background:

    • Hyperactivity in children presents significant classroom challenges.
    • Effective interventions are crucial for improving academic and social outcomes.
    • Self-control strategies offer a promising avenue for behavior management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a self-control strategy package for hyperactive boys.
    • To assess the impact on on-task behavior, misbehavior, and activity levels.
    • To examine effects during different instructional formats (individual vs. group).

    Main Methods:

    • A within-subjects reversal design was employed.
    • Six hyperactive boys (ages 7-10) participated.
    • Measures included on-task behavior, class misbehavior, and activity levels.

    Main Results:

    • The self-control package improved behavior and attention during individual seat work.
    • No significant improvements were observed during group instruction.
    • Activity levels were unaffected by the intervention.
    • Schedule changes in self-monitoring led to behavioral variability and deterioration, particularly in younger boys.

    Conclusions:

    • Self-control strategies can be effective for specific classroom tasks in hyperactive children.
    • Instructional format is a critical factor in intervention success.
    • Careful consideration of self-monitoring schedules is needed, especially for children with lower mental ages.
