“…Females rated home tuition with psychotherapy and behavioural management higher and hospitalisation and medication lower than did males. This finding is consistent with that of Norton, Allen and Hilton (1983) who found that females rated exposure and relationship therapies higher and the use of drugs lower than did males.…”

“…The simplified rating procedure was considered to be a viable alternative given the outcome of factor analyses on the more elaborate and comprehensive inventories (cf.

School refusal is a debilitating condition that may be treated in various ways. This study examined the acceptability and perceived effectiveness of alternative treatments for school refusal. A total of 376 people comprising students, parents, and professionals, were required to evaluate several treatment options in relation to a vignette. Despite its potential aversiveness, behavioural management was the most acceptable treatment approach followed, in order, by home tuition with psychotherapy, hospitalisation, and medication. A strong positive relationship was found between acceptability and perceived effectiveness.

“…Generally, positive or reinforcement-based treatments are more acceptable than punishment-based interventions. Variables in the treatment or consultative situation found to influence acceptability have had to do with features of the presenting problem (Frentz & Kelley, 1986;Kazdin, 1980a), characteristics of the treatment (Elliott, Witt, Galvin, & Peterson, 1984;Kazdin, 1980aKazdin, , 1980bKazdin, , 1981Kazdin, , 1984Kazdin & Cole, 1981;Martens, Witt, Elliott, & Darveaux, 1985;Witt, Martens, & Elliott, 1984;Woolfolk, Woolfolk, & Wilson, 1977), and aspects of rater (Cross Calvert & McMahon, 1987;Elliott, Turco, Evans, & Gresham, 1984;Elliott & Witt et al, 1984;Fincham & Spettell, 1984;Heffer & Kelley, 1987;Kazdin, French, & Sherlick, 1981;Norton, Austen, Allen, & Hilton, 1983;Singh & Katz, 1985;Turco & Elliott, 1986). Consistent findings that have emerged from these studies are that acceptability is positively associated with perceived effectiveness of treatment, brevity of treatment, experience level of rater, and problem severity.…”

Behavioral staff management: An analogue study of acceptability and its behavioral correlates

This study examined the acceptability of four behavioral staff management techniques: instruction1 modeling, reinforcement, punishment, and self-management. Staff working with developmentally handicapped clients were randomly assigned to these conditions, which were presented in roleplays with a handicapped confederate, while the experimenter directed the management techniques toward the reinforcing behaviors of staff. Dependent variables included number of reinforcers delivered by the staff person, number of problems attempted by the confederate, and ratings of acceptability from staff. Instruction/modeling was most acceptable, followed, in order, by self-management, reinforcement, and punishment. A significant interaction showed number of reinforcers to increase only for instruction/modeling and self-management conditions.

The good behavior game: An investigation of teachers' acceptance

Although shown to be effective, group contingency procedures have been assessed for their acceptability by individuals responsible for implementation in only one empirical study to date (Elliott, Turco, & Gresham, 1987). The present investigation assessed teachers' acceptance of the Good Behavior Game (GBG), an interdependent type of group contingency, in two analogue studies. The GBG was found to be as acceptable as individually based procedures (positive reinforcement and response cost). Neither age of target children, severity of behavior problem, nor the stated rationale for the procedure affected teachers' ratings of acceptability. A positive relationship was found between acceptability and usage for positive reinforcement and the GBG, and between acceptability and effectiveness for all procedures. The results of the present investigations are compared to those of other studies of intervention acceptability.
