Aversiveness and frequency of use of commonly used interventions for problem behavior.
In a short pilot study, we examined the differences in
aversiveness, intensity and startling capacity of both USs (N = 20).
In this way, this research intends to establish the net effect of the
aversiveness of the prime, regardless of whether its physical form matches that of the unconditioned stimulus in the prior conditioning phase or not.
Second, perfectionistic behavior can enhance the
aversiveness of stress responses.
"Instead of attempting to determine the appropriateness of an intervention based on its name, structure, or presumed
aversiveness, perhaps researchers should systematically determine the effectiveness of function-based interventions." (Hanley, Piazza, Fisher, & Maglieri, 2005, p.
Briefly, their purpose is to decrease
aversiveness and increase the reinforcement for teachers and administrators.
The percentage of pedal presses per opportunity provided an indication of the
aversiveness of the tone.
Alexander and Onwuegbuzie (2007) have indicated that the hope factor helps to predict procrastination with respect to fear of failure, but not task
aversiveness. Two control vignettes concluded the vignettes (see Appendix).
Basically, and following the contributions made by Ruch and his group (Ruch, 1992; Ruch & Hehl, 1998), we understand humor appreciation as the degree of funniness and
aversiveness experienced as a response to a given humor stimulus.
Equally and perhaps most important, it is a fact that physical resistance itself actually increases the
aversiveness of a dental exam or treatment exponentially; therefore, the process of teaching the patient to resist less will have the added effect of making the experience less aversive--for the patient and for the dental team.
In this situation, these goal statements will relate a multitude of events in the ongoing environment to the eventuality of experiencing anxiety and thereby potentially increase the perceived
aversiveness of that environment, a process that may ultimately fuel anxiety.
Because the previous Demand condition showed decreases in rate, trend, and level of problem behavior, it was believed that the task
aversiveness was reduced due to instructor attention.
