The Good Behavior Game is a procedure aimed to change the behavior of all members of the student group through an interdependent group contingency. The issues regarding maintenance and generalization of the changes, produced by the Game, including possible support tactics and generalization tactics are discussed in present paper. The cross-cultural aspects of the application of the procedure are also described, as well as the information about what kind of reaction the application of the procedure evokes in teachers and what changes occur in their behavior. Some possible modifications of the procedure are presented, among which are the Caught Being Good Game, the Good Inclusion Game and the Good Student Game.

The Good Behavior Game is a behavioral procedure aimed to change the behavior of all members of the student group through an interdependent group contingency. Since the middle of 60s years of XX century the Game is used in primary school and preschool groups, as well as in the secondary and high school, in different cultural contexts and in the context of inclusive education also. In presented paper the following points are reflected: the history of the development of the procedure, typical options for conducting, possible categories of participants, types of the aimed behavior, studies of the effectiveness of the Game usage and the factors influencing it. The paper includes step-by-step description of the one of the possible ways of conducting the procedure. Special attention is paid to the issue of using the Game in groups, which include students with autism. The existing precedents are analyzed. The theoretical perspectives for conducting the Game in such conditions are discussed including methodological base and the match between the procedure and cognitive features, which are often found in people with ASD.

Abstract Incongruency, when regarded as a verbal behavioral act that functions to create contradictory meanings in discourse, seems to violate aspects of the Gricean "Cooperative Principle" that are supposed to guide our every-day conversational encounters. With the aid of actual examples, this paper looks at incongruent conversational exchanges and discusses the factors governing their toleration in conversational interaction, the cross-cultural aspects of incongruent behavioral acts, their translational implications, and suggests that strict observances of the "Cooperative Principle" are restricted to particular types of discourses.

We examined the cross-cultural equivalence of a widely used instrument that assesses perceived parental rearing, the EMBU-C, among native Dutch and immigrant adolescents living in The Netherlands. The results of a multigroup confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the factor structure of the EMBU-C, consisting of three latent factors (Warmth, Rejection, and Overprotection), and reliabilities of these scales are similar in both samples. These findings lend further support for the factorial and construct validity of this instrument. The comparison of perceived child rearing between native Dutch and immigrant adolescents showed cultural differences in only one of the assessed dimensions: Immigrant adolescents perceive their parents as more overprotective than do Dutch adolescents.
