Effects of Self-monitoring and Self-graphing on Appropriate and Inappropriate Behaviors for Students with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders

Abstract Details

2018, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Educational Studies.
This study examined the effects of self-monitoring appropriate and inappropriate behaviors with student-delivered reinforcement and self-graphing with a MotivAider® timer on increasing appropriate behaviors and decreasing inappropriate behaviors with students with Emotional Behavior Disorders (EBD). Appropriate and inappropriate behaviors were measured using frequency. Students used an individualized data sheet to count their appropriate and inappropriate behaviors exhibited during instruction, delivering a reinforcer to themselves if they met pre-determined criteria, and graphing their number of appropriate and inappropriate behaviors daily. Students were between the ages of nine and twelve. All four participants had a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyper Activity (ADHD) and were placed in a Behavior Learning Center within their school district. A multiple-baseline across participants design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. Findings indicated that the use of self-monitoring with a MotivAider®, self-graphing, and self-delivered reinforcement increased the number of appropriate behaviors exhibited and decreased the number of inappropriate behaviors exhibited.
