All the intervention articles published on the JOBM between 1977 and 2011 were reviewed and analyzed according to criteria of consistency and change magnitude. Consistency shows us if the change that accompanied the interventions happened systematically. Magnitude indicates the amount of change that accompanied each intervention. 118 articles were identified as having consistent interventions among the 154 included in the research from the 192 initial selection. Furthermore it was identified that in 78 articles the intervention was accompanied by growth (progression) on the variables and these obtained results between 1.29% and 7133.33% with great concentration of results between 100% and 1000% of growth. Also it was found that in 43 of the articles where decay (regression) in the variables has accompanied the intervention theses varied between 2.70% and 100% with no apparent concentration. The results indicate that most part of the published interventions were accompanied by consistent results with relevant magnitude / O propósito deste trabalho foi o de indicar, a partir de uma revisão de literatura se as intervenções publicadas no JOBM seriam efetivas. Todos os artigos de intervenção publicados no JOBM entre 1977 e 2011 foram revisados e analisados de acordo com critérios de consistência e magnitude de mudança. A consistência nos mostra se as mudanças que acompanharam as intervenções variaram sistematicamente. A magnitude nos informa qual foi a quantidade de mudança que acompanhou cada intervenção. Foram identificados 118 artigos com intervenções consistentes dentre os 154 incluídos na pesquisa a partir dos 192 iniciais. Além disto, foram observados nos resultados de 78 artigos de intervenção aumento (progressão) nas variáveis que variaram entre 1,29% e 7133,33% com grande concentração dos resultados entre 100% e 1000% de aumento. Também foram encontrados resultados em 43 artigos onde houve diminuição (regressão) nas variáveis estas variaram entre 2,70% e 100% sem concentração aparente. Os resultados indicam que a maior parte das intervenções foi acompanhada por resultados consistentes e com magnitude relevante

We intended to replicate the study for the same purpose and compare the results obtained with those of the replicated study. Our interest was in analyzing whether the results of review of the third decade would be consistent, while keeping in mind the criteria proposed for applied research in behavioral analysis. One publication was selected for each year reviewed of the periodical, which consisted of 14 articles of applied research, encompassing the period from 1999 to 2012. The method used was based on criteria/dimensions for applied experimental research in behavioral analysis which were transformed into questions that served to guide the search in the reports of research. Seven criteria/dimensions were evaluated: Applied, Behavioral, Analytic, Technological, Conceptual, Effective and General. The results obtained indicated that the JOBM presented three purposes in its research studies, productivity, customer service and work safety, with productivity being the most evident. Most of the studies sought interventions that would achieve rapid results in meeting the needs of organizations and applications in the natural environment. Results indicated that trained observers were the most common source of data. A little more than half the studies were concerned with the reliability of the dependent variable 57%, and unsatisfactory numbers were found to verify the independent variable. In relation to the experimental designs used, only 50% of the studies used the intrasubject design. A large majority of the studies reported training for those responsible for introduction of the independent variable. The researchers reported the procedures in detail, but replication of the studies requires a greater description of the organizational configuration where the studies are conducted. The inclusion of cost-benefit measures and social validity should be found in a greater number of studies, as well as measures of generality. These results indicate that no dimension was fully served. The applied, behavioral, analytical, technological, conceptual and effective dimensions partially met the criteria for each dimension. Comparison with the review of the third decade of which the present study is a replication, indicated that not all the criteria could be compared. Discrepancies in the Applied and Analytic dimensions were found the reported aims were found in different percentages, and the same is true for the experimental designs that were identified in the publicationsnizational Psychology. / Objetivou-se neste trabalho revisar as publicações da terceira década do Journal of Organizational Behavior Management (JOBM). Pretendeu-se fazer uma replicação de pesquisa com o mesmo propósito e comparar os resultados obtidos com os do estudo replicado. O interesse estava em analisar se houve consistência com os resultados da revisão da terceira década, sem perder de vista os critérios propostos para pesquisas aplicadas em análise do comportamento Foi selecionada uma publicação por ano revisado do periódico, o que correspondeu a 14 artigos de pesquisa aplicada, compreendendo o período de 1999 a 2012. A metodologia empregada foi baseada em critérios/dimensões para pesquisas experimentais aplicadas em análise do comportamento os quais foram transformados em perguntas que serviram para direcionar a busca nos relatos de pesquisa. Sete foram os critérios/dimensões avaliados: Aplicada, Comportamental, Analítica, Tecnológica, Conceitual, Eficaz e Generalidade. Os resultados obtidos apontaram que o JOBM apresentou três finalidades das suas pesquisas: produtividade, atendimento ao cliente e segurança no trabalho, sendo produtividade a mais encontrada. As pesquisas em sua maioria buscaram intervenções que alcançassem resultados rápidos em direção às necessidades das organizações e aplicações no ambiente natural. Os resultados apontaram que observadores treinados foram a fonte de dados mais comum. Um pouco mais da metade das pesquisas preocupou-se com a confiabilidade da variável dependente (57%), e números insatisfatórios foram encontrados para a verificação da variável independente. Em relação aos delineamentos usados, apenas 50% das pesquisas experimentais usaram o delineamento intra-sujeito. A grande maioria das pesquisas relataram treinamentos para os responsáveis pela introdução da variável independente. Os pesquisadores relataram os procedimentos com detalhes, mas a replicação das pesquisas exige uma descrição maior da configuração organizacional onde são conduzidos os estudos. A inclusão de medidas de custo-benefício e validade social deveria ser encontrada em um número maior de pesquisas, bem como, medidas de generalidade. Esses resultados indicam que nenhuma dimensão foi atendida por completo. As dimensões aplicada, comportamental, analítica, tecnológica, conceitual e eficaz atenderam parcialmente os critérios para cada dimensão. A comparação com a revisão da terceira década apontou discrepâncias nas dimensões Aplicada e Analítica. Os objetivos relatados foram encontrados em porcentagens diferentes, o mesmo vale para os delineamentos que foram utilizados. Nem todos os critérios foram possíveis de serem comparados

The case studies provide realistic portrayals of current dilemmas in policing, courts, corrections, and juvenile justice. Political and noble cause corruption, perjury and judicial/prosecutorial misconduct, ethnic and gender prejudice, and many other social and criminal justice themes are featured. Following each scenario are thought-provoking questions to facilitate personal reflection and class discussion. Each section contains a bibliography of topical books and articles for readers interested in a more in-depth treatment of the issues. / https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1030/thumbnail.jpg

Children who express externalizing behaviors in school are at greater risk of school failure and peer rejection. They are also at greater risk of developing antisocial behaviors, addiction to drugs, mental health problems and delinquency. Many teachers experience difficulties in working with pupils expressing externalizing behaviors. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate a classroom behavior management program called Comet. The main principle of Comet is to get the teacher to use effective strategies when the pupil who is targeted for intervention, and the rest of class, are behaving appropriately and inappropriately. Two versions of the program are evaluated in the thesis: Comet for teachers (Comet-T) and Comet for parents (Comet-P). Three studies are committed to evaluate Comet-T. In the first study Comet-T was compared to an active control group. 100 children (aged 8) were randomized into Comet-T or the control group. At post test and follow-up Comet-T received a better results in reducing externalizing problems, peer problems and teacher behavior management. An analysis of mediators showed that changes in teacher behaviors mediated externalizing behavior. In the second study, children (aged 6 -13) were randomized into two groups. 44 pupils received Comet-T and 42 pupils received a combined intervention consisting of Comet-T at school and Comet-P at home. At post test and follow-up the results show that the combination of Comet-T and Comet-P reduced the externalizing behaviors at home more than Comet-T (only). However, there were no significant differences between the two conditions regarding decrease in externalizing behaviors at school. In the third study Comet-T was compared to a brief version called Comet-TB. At post test Comet-TB had a greater reduction of externalizing behaviors compared to Comet-T. The studies conclude that teachers can use behavior management techniques to decrease externalizing behaviors in the classroom. Furthermore, teachers cannot rely on parent management programs in order to decrease externalizing problems in school. Instead, behavior problems in school need to be solved within school settings. Finally, even a brief program can be effective in order to decrease externalizing behaviors.

Teachers are required to manage difficult behaviors within their classrooms with limited support and resources. Additionally, there is not a lot of research that has been completed looking at teacher attitudes or how children’s behavior impacts them personally. The current study looks at teacher outcomes based upon an evidence-based teacher training program. The teacher training was implemented at the Western Kentucky Head Start. Teachers’ job stress and self-efficacy were measured before the training, after the training, in the fall, and in the spring. In addition, standardized observations were completed, looking at classroom climate and management, in the fall and spring following the training. There were no significant differences among Pretest, Post-test, fall, or spring data for measured job stress or self-efficacy. Based upon observation results, Positive Climate significantly increased from fall to spring and Concept Development significantly decreased. Teacher’s attitudes and perspectives are extremely important as they provide the general climate of the classroom. Continued research should be completed to assess teacher outcomes and how these outcomes impact the overfull functioning of the classroom and success of students.

Aim: To assess the association between preference of pediatric management techniques and parenting styles of parents of children aged 5-13 years cared for in a university health center in Lima, Peru. Materials and methods: The total of the respondents were 160 parents (77 % are female and 78 % belong to the age range of 30 years and over). Parenting styles are assessed using the self-paced questionnaire Parenting Style Dimension Questionnaire (PSDQ). The preference of the behavior management techniques was evaluated by means of an informative sheet of own elaboration where six techniques are included according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) of 2015. As father's age in intervals of years, sex of the father, educational level, number of children, sex of the children, age of the child in years and order of birth of the children. Chi Square and Fisher's Exact Test were analyzed for bivariate analysis and for the numerical variable used Kruskal Wallis. Results: There is no association between preference of behavior management technique and parenting styles. The prevalence of authoritative parenting style and a greater preference for communication techniques were determined, the latter regardless of the parenting style he manages at home. Conclusions: The preference of the behavior management technique is not associated with the parenting styles. However, the prevalence of communication techniques leads us to conclude that more studies should be carried out around it. / Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación que existe entre la preferencia de las técnicas de manejo en Odontopediatría y los estilos de crianza de los padres de niños con edades entre los 5 y 13 años que son atendidos en un Centro Universitario de Salud de la ciudad de Lima, Perú. Materiales y métodos: Se encuestó a un total de 160 padres de familia, de los cuales el 77 % era de sexo femenino y el 78 % pertenecía al grupo etario de 30 años a más. Los estilos de crianza se evaluaron por medio del cuestionario autoaplicado Parenting Style and Dimension Questionary (PSDQ); y la preferencia de las técnicas de manejo de conducta se evaluó por medio de una ficha informativa de elaboración propia, en la cual se incluyeron 6 de las 13 técnicas que se emplean de acuerdo con Behavior Guidance for the Pediatric Dental Patient de la American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) que fue publicada en el 2015. Las variables registradas fueron: edad del padre en intervalos de años, sexo del padre, nivel educativo, número de hijos, sexo de los hijos, edad del niño en años y orden de nacimiento de los hijos. Luego se utilizó la prueba Chi-cuadrado y la prueba exacta de Fisher para realizar el análisis bivariado, y se aplicó la prueba de Kruskal Wallis para la variable numérica. Resultados: No existe asociación entre la preferencia por una técnica de manejo de conducta y los estilos de crianza, puesto que en la investigación se observó una prevalencia del estilo de crianza autoritativo y una mayor preferencia por las técnicas de comunicación, indistintamente del estilo de crianza que se manejaba en las casas. Conclusiones: La preferencia de la técnica de manejo de conducta no está asociada a los estilos de crianza. Sin embargo, la prevalencia de las técnicas comunicativas permite concluir que deben realizarse más estudios en torno a esta. / Tesis

The aim of this study was to explore the role of feedback in managing resistance to organisational change. A general systems theoretical model of individual resistance to change was developed. It describes the origin, function and outcomes of individual resistance to planned organisational change. The role of feedback within this process was identified as a central one and feedback was therefore identified as an important point of leverage in managing resistance to change. The survey feedback approach was adopted in a retail organisation undergoing significant change. Staff were asked to respond to a survey on their experience of the change. Results were analysed and then fed back to them during group discussions. The process was repeated. It was concluded that the survey feedback approach significantly contributed to a reduction in resistance to change and that both survey feedback approach and the model of individual resistance to change merit further investigation. / Industrial Psychology / M.A. (Industrial Psychology)

The performance diagnostic tool called Performance Diagnostic Checklist - Human Services (PDC-HS), can be a useful tool in identifying functional variables, as well as indicating possible interventions to be implemented when there are performance problems. This research aimed to (1) Translate and adapt this tool that focuses on the verbal report of the leadership and the direct observations of the applicator, (2) create a team version to be answered by the employees, and (3) their respective applications in a business services company. The method consisted of seven steps, as follows: 1º) first check: students of the fifth year of Psychology, 2º) second check: Application in a pilot class of the company's management, 3º) third check: Appraisers experts in behavior analysis, 4º) fourth check: management team and direction of the company researched, 5º) defining and redefining the performance problem, 6º) fifth check: PDC-HS application of the target group and 7º) analysis. The results of the application of the tools in the different audiences are complementary. After the applications of PDC-HS in the researched company, 14 interventions were indicated in which seven are compatible actions between leadership and employees and seven are actions that would be appropriate based on the verbal report of the employees and that were not indicated on the basis of leadership’s verbal report. For future studies there is the need for customization of the tool, depending on the behavioral description of the performance problem, target audience and institution / Alguns métodos podem ser utilizados para a identificação de variáveis que mantêm ou limitam classes de comportamentos. A ferramenta de diagnóstico de desempenho chamada Performance Diagnostic Checklist – Human Services (PDC-HS), pode ser um instrumento útil na identificação de variáveis funcionais, além de indicar intervenções possíveis de serem implementadas, quando há problemas de desempenho. A presente pesquisa visou à (1) tradução e adaptação desta ferramenta que foca no relato verbal da liderança e nas observações diretas do aplicador, a (2) criação da versão equipe para ser respondida pelos liderados, e (3) suas respectivas aplicações em uma empresa do ramo de serviços. O método consistiu em 7 etapas, sendo elas: 1º) primeira verificação: Quintanistas de Psicologia, 2º) segunda verificação: Aplicação em uma turma piloto de gestores da empresa pesquisada, 3º) terceira verificação: Avaliadores especialistas em Análise do Comportamento, 4º) quarta verificação: Equipe administrativa e direção da empresa pesquisada, 5º) definição e redefinição do problema de desempenho, 6º) quinta verificação: Aplicação do PDC-HS no grupo alvo e 7º) análises. Os resultados das aplicações das ferramentas nos diferentes públicos são complementares. Após a aplicação do PDC-HS na empresa pesquisada, 14 intervenções foram indicadas nas quais sete são ações compatíveis entre liderança e liderados e sete são ações que seriam indicadas com base no relato verbal dos liderados e que não foi indicado com base no relato da liderança. Para futuras pesquisas há a necessidade de customização da ferramenta, a depender da descrição comportamental do problema de desempenho, público alvo e instituição
