To evaluate treatment of preschool children with conduct disorders, 16 studies were reviewed in which single-subject methodology was employed. Studies were coded for a number of variables including (a) description of target subjects, (b) type of intervention, (c) length and intensity of intervention, (d) primary intervenor, and (e) setting as well as a quantitative outcome variable, percent of treatment data points nonoverlapping with previous baseline phases. Variables were analyzed for covanation between outcomes and study characteristics. Results indicated that (a) reinforcement produced most positive outcomes, followed by punishment timeout and differential attention, respectively: and (b) subject characteristics such as sex, handicapping condition, and target behavior generally bore little relation to treatment outcome. Finally, stronger outcomes were found for homebased interventions and younger subjects, but these findings were inconsistent and were thought to reflect the effects of other variables. Implications for further research are given.

Areview of single-subject research designed to enhance the object-related play of youths with mental retardation is presented. Eleven studies, obtained from a literature search of appropriate journals, references of relevant articles, and computer databases, met inclusion criteria. Studies were organized by intervention type: (a) response to the introduction of toys, (b) programmed reinforcement of toy play, and (c) direct or assertive training procedures. Positive outcomes in the form of improved play behaviors were consistently reported across intervention type. The apparent responsiveness of participants' play skills to intervention indicates a need for further research in appropriate interventions.

Overall Effectiveness

Sixty-four single-subject studies examining the effectiveness of social skills interventions with students with emotional or behavioral problems were included in this synthesis. The results of quantitative synthesis procedures using percentage of nonoverlapping data suggest that social skills interventions have limited empirical support for their overall effectiveness. Implications for future social skills research and quantitative analysis methodology are discussed.

There is a lot of research about the Conduct Disorders in male subjects, but research on the Conduct Disorders in female subjects relatively minimal. The purpose of this study is to reveal the effectiveness of behavior modification to reduce Conduct Disorders behaviour in adolescent girls using token economy techniques. Research conducted on a teenager who suffered Conduct Disorders antisocial types, female, 16 years old, had no formal education, have a level of intelligence below the average. With single-subject research design with ABA-type single-factor baseline, the reduction behavior seen from a comparison between the results of the test before and after the intervention. The results showed a decrease in the aspect of aggressive behavior (14 points), attention problems (11 points), deliquent behavior (10 points), withdrawn (10 points), social problems (5 points), anxiety/depression (4 points) , thought problems (1 point), and somatic complaints (0 points). Thus the behavior modification using token economy technique effective to decrease the Conduct Disorders in adolescent girls.
