Using Rapidly Alternating Multiple Schedules To Assess and Treat Aberrant Behavior in Natural Settings.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Zanolli, Kathleen; Daggett, Julie; Ortiz, Kristi; Mullins, Jo – Behavior Modification, 1999
The validity of using rapidly alternating multiple schedules (RAMS) as a method for assessing and treating aggression was demonstrated by using the naturally occurring reinforcers identified in the RAMS to develop treatments that were experimentally tested. All treatments using the reinforcers identified in the RAMS were effective. Possible uses…

Origins of Antisocial Behavior: Negative Reinforcement and Affect Dysregulation of Behavior as Socialization Mechanisms in Family Interaction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Snyder, James; Schrepferman, Lynn; St. Peter, Carolyn – Behavior Modification, 1997
Explores how theories concerning socialization mechanisms may be operationalized and tested. Provides a preliminary test of this strategy using 57 boys being treated for conduct problems. Results indicate that the role of both negative reinforcement and affect dysregulation play a part in the development of a child's antisocial behavior. (RJM)
