“…Previous research has shown that public feedback on performance can be an effective strategy for changing group behavior. Publicly posted signs have been used in hospitals to improve staff performance (Greene, Willis, Levy, & Bailey, 1978;Hutchinson, Jarman, & Bailey, 1980;Panyan, Boozer, & Morris, 1970;Quilitch, 1975), in 449 NUMBER4 (WINTER 1995(WINTER ) 1995 NICK C.

Thus, it appears that public feedback on donations to a multipurpose senior center might similarly affect the probability of community members making donations.…”

Multipurpose senior centers are expanding their services to meet the demands of a growing population. Unfortunately, federal agencies have not matched this expansion with monetary support. Many senior centers hold fund-raisers to supplement their budgets, but the impact of these projects is rarely evaluated. This study assessed the effectiveness of a public posting strategy designed to increase donations to an ongoing fund-raiser for a multipurpose senior center. The fund-raiser, "Coupons for Caring," consisted of senior volunteers clipping grocery coupons from newspapers, sorting them, and attaching them to their respective products in local grocery stores. Grocery store customers were given the option of donating the coupons to the senior center or redeeming them when they purchased the products to which the coupons were attached. In the experimental condition, signs were posted that included visual and written instructions, feedback on the value of coupons donated by customers the previous week, and feedback on the overall amount of money donated to the senior center. The signs were posted near each cashier stand and at the front entrances of the grocery stores in a multiple baseline across grocery stores. The percentage of coupons donated to the senior center increased at each store after the signs were posted.

“…Public posting has been demonstrated to be effective at reducing problem behaviors such as speeding (Ragnarsson & Bjorgvinsson, 1991;Van Houten, Nau, & Zopito, 1980), disruptive behaviors of elementary school children (Holland & McLaughlin, 1982), and absenteeism at work (Camden & Ludwig, 2013). In addition, public posting has been used to increase desirable behaviors such as teacher praise to students (Gross & Ekstrand, 1983), oral hygiene (Blount & Stokes, 1984), completion of chores such as bed making (BaconPrue, Blount, Hosey, & Drabman, 1980), increasing attendance and performance for employees (Hutchison, Jarman, & Bailey, 1980;Nordstrom, Lorenzi, & Hall, 2014), increasing adult exercise (Martin & Sharpe, 2009), and improving academic performance and peer interaction for students (Van Houten, Hill, & Parsons, 1975).…”

This study evaluated an intervention package that used public posting and feedback to enhance dance movements for adolescent dancers on a competition team. Four dancers each performing two or three dance movements (a turn, kick, and/or leap) had their scores posted on a bulletin board at their studio. Dance movements were scored as a percentage correct by using a 14-to 16-step task analysis checklist. Intervention was evaluated in a multiple baseline across behavior design. The students received graphical feedback on their performance from the previous weeks and saw the scoring sheet that reviewed the incorrect and correct aspects of their performance. This study found that this treatment package including public posting and feedback enhanced each of the dance movements for all participants.

“…For example, hallway behavior has been targeted with school rules and increased adult supervision (e.g., Lewis et al, 1998). Effective interventions have been developed for playgrounds/recess including peer mediation strategies (Cunningham et al, 1998), reward programs (Lewis et al, 1998), and response cost programs (e.g., Holland & McLaughlin, 1982). The school cafeteria has been another setting where behavior management procedures have been utilized.…”

Studies of behavior modification interventions for disruptive behavior in schools have generally focused on classroom behavior with less research directed toward child behavior in other school settings (e.g., cafeterias). The present report documents the effect of a group contingency intervention with a random reward component, targeting disruptive cafeteria behavior. An uncontrolled study of the effect of the group contingency program across the school year suggested substantial behavior improvement after the program started. Two natural treatment discontinuations during the same school year provide further support for the intervention. Both sources of information suggest behavioral improvement in rule-following behavior when the program was actively implemented.
