Abstract Details

2007, Specialist in Education, Miami University, School Psychology.
Peers exert considerable influence on the behavior of one another, and positive peer reporting (PPR) has emerged as one method for successfully incorporating peer attention into social interventions. PPR consists of reinforcing classroom peers using a group contingency for making praise statements regarding the social behavior of target students. The current study employed an increasing intensity design to evaluate the effects of two levels of PPR, targeted and class-wide PPR, on the class-wide average of disruptive behavior for seven first and second grade students in a classroom for children with emotional disturbance. Targeted PPR consisted of one to two target students serving as recipients of praise statements, and class-wide PPR represented an increase in intensity, as all seven students became recipients of praise. Results indicated that class-wide disruptive behavior decreased by 15% during targeted PPR, and by an additional 7% during the class-wide PPR phase.
