Abstract
The present study examined effects of interdependent group-oriented contingencies on the preparations for lunchtime and spontaneous supportive behavior of third-grade pupils in a regular classroom. Prior to the classwide interventions, in order to prevent negative side effects of the group-oriented contingencies, individualized prompting and verbal praise were given for the behavior of the 2 targeted boys who were deficient in skills needed to complete preparations for lunchtime. After that, an interdependent group-oriented contingency was introduced, based on the time required for all the children in the class to complete the preparations for lunch. Finally, an interdependent group-oriented contingency based on the performance of the members of each sub-group was added. The results revealed that the time required for lunchtime preparations by both the targeted and the other children decreased to a level acceptable to their teacher. In addition, the frequency of spontaneous and positive peer interactions dramatically increased in the final interdependent group-oriented contingency condition. Furthermore, negative side effects were not observed in the interactions between the targeted boys and their classmates. The present results suggest the applicability and utility of this additive individualized intervention and subgroup-based group-oriented reinforcement for facilitating spontaneous supportive interactions among children whose behavior is being reinforced by an interdependent group-oriented contingency.
