TYPES: Independent group contingency: The contingency is presented to all but earned by only those who meet the criterion. Group averaging: Base success on a mean group score Good behavior game: Barrish, Saunders, and Wolf came up with this strategy for classroom management. They divided the class into 2 groups and monitored disruptive behaviors.
The team with least infraction wins the reward. Good student game: Combines Good Behavior Game with self-monitoring. Teacher decides a what are the target behaviors to change b what are the goals and what are the rewards for hitting the goals c whether it will be group or individual monitoring or both PLACHECK planned activity check is a recording method on a group behavior and the observer headcounts the number of people engaging in a target behavior at the end of each interval.
Very interesting! This article has been cited by other articles in PMC. Abstract A successful learning environment can be characterized by actively engaged students displaying appropriate student behavior.
Descriptors: Independent group contingency, interdependent group contingency, lottery-based reward, school-wide behavior management. Method Participants and Settings Three children in each of four classrooms were enrolled in the study, for a total of 12 participants.
Materials Materials included a wall chart with pockets containing each student's name and colored cards, desktop self-management charts, lottery tickets and rewards, warning cards, and consequence cards. Response Measurement Academic engagement time. Inappropriate behavior. Teacher praise. Social validity surveys. Data collection and observations. Baseline The teachers implemented the pre-existing behavior management procedures e.
Intervention The components of the intervention included a classroom lottery game, interdependent group contingency, self-management, and individual warning cards. Training and Implementation of the Intervention The intervention was implemented in several steps.
Fading the Intervention Eventually, the lottery drawing was faded to once per day, but varied with respect to the time of day e. Individual Motivational System During the 2 nd week of the group intervention, an individual motivational system was implemented for Participant 4 consisting of a teacher feedback at the end of each activity, b individual rewards for performance, and c a home-school note of daily performance.
Results Overall, results demonstrated that the intervention improved student behaviors in all four classrooms. Open in a separate window. Figure 1. Figure 2. Figure 3. Figure 4. Conclusions This study provided an example of a group contingency intervention in four classrooms.

In an independent group contingency, the same consequence or reinforcement is delivered to participants who reach the pre-determined criteria, independent of if others in the group reach the criteria.
Each employee who reaches the quota will earn the bonus. In a dependent group contingency, the same consequence or reinforcement is delivered to all participants in the group, based on the performance of one or a select few participants in the group.
In a dependent group contingency, the individual or select few participants the target behaviour is focused on can be kept a secret, as well as what the pre-determined criteria is.
Alternatively, the group can know what the target behaviour, pre-determined criteria, and select individuals are. Example: To encourage more consistent running habits, a running club has members track their total monthly distance ran using fitness tracking apps.
The names of selected members to meet the pre-determined running criteria are pulled from a hat and kept a secret, to encourage all members to increase their total distance completed. At the end of the month, if the selected members meet the distance goal for the month, the entire running club gets a lunch and party in the park. In an interdependent group contingency, the same consequence or reinforcement is delivered to each participant in the group, based on the performance of all participants in the group as a whole or as an average.
