“…Although several recent studies and reviews have emphasized the importance of a better understanding of self-restraint (e.g., Fovel, Lash, Barron, & Roberts, 1989;Isley, Kartsonis, McCurley, Weisz, & Roberts, 1991), few investigations have pursued a systematic analysis of its functional properties and its relationship with SIB. Rojahn et al (1978) reduced the SIB of 2 mentally retarded men through the introduction of dothing that permitted selfrestraint.…”

Many individuals who exhibit self-injurious behavior (SIB) also exhibit self-restraint. Three hypotheses about the determinants of self-restraint have been suggested: (a) Self-restraint is maintained by escape from or avoidance of aversive aspects of SIB, (b) self-restraint and SIB are members of the same functional class, and (c) self-restraint and SIB are functionally independent. This study examined a method by which the relationship between self-restraint and SIB may be investigated using functional analysis. Data were collected on the self-restraint and SIB exhibited by 5 mentally retarded males, while conditions suspected to maintain SIB were manipulated. Results suggested that self-restraint, like SIB, may be maintained by idiosyncratic contingencies. Implications of an understanding of self-restraint for the analysis and treatment of SIB are discussed, as are some general possibilities for future research.

“…A number of hypotheses concerning the relationship between SIB and SR have been suggested (Fisher & Iwata, 1996;Isley, Kartsonis, McCurley, Weisz, & Roberts, 1991). Firstly, SR may be reinforced by termination of, or avoidance of, SIB.…”

“…There are numerous descriptions in single case reports of how a person showing selfinjurious behavior may seek "restraint", that is, will apparently endeavour to restrict their own responding. These behaviors have been termed 'self-restraint' and three broad categories have been identified by Isley Kartsonis, and McCurley (1991). Firstly, those behaviors that involve the restriction of body parts using clothing or material e.g., 'wrapping body in and carrying a sheet' (Peterson & Peterson, 1968), 'pushing hands down trousers' (Young & Wincze, 1974), 'pushing arms under coat' (Korten et al, 1975), 'wrapping towel or clothing around neck' (Lucero et al, 1976), 'pushing hands under clothes' (Duker, 1976), 'pulling clothes over shoulders, covering head' (Singh et al, 1980), 'wrapping cloth around ankles' (Herman, 1980), 'rolling body in bedclothes' (Francezon et al, 1981), 'wrapping arms inside jumper' (Kinnel, 1984) and 'wrapping hands inside shirt' (Hardy et al, 1984).…”

Self-restraint is often reported in individuals with mental retardation who show self-injurious behavior (SIB). In this study, the phenomenology and prevalence of self-restraint in individuals showing self-injury and wearing protective devices and those showing self-injury but not wearing protective devices were compared. A high prevalence of self-restraint in the whole sample of individuals showing self-injury was identified (67/88, 76.1%), and self-restraint was more prevalent in a group showing self-injury but not wearing protective devices (43/47, 91.5%) than in a group showing self-injury and wearing protective devices (24/41, 58.5%). Individuals not wearing protective devices showed a greater number of topographies of self-restraint than those who did wear them. Results are discussed with reference to the purely topographical definition of self-restraint employed and the potential equivalence of protective devices and self-restraint.
