Several Antecedent Strategies in Reduction of an Environmentally Destructive Behavior
Smith, J. M., & Bennett, R. (1992). Several antecedent strategies in reduction of an environmentally destructive behavior. Psychological Reports, 70, 1, 241-242.
Investigated the effects of response-specific prompts, prompts identifying long- and short-term consequences, and response-specific prompts on the reduction of environmentally destructive lawn-walking. The response-specific prompt alone was effective, and its effectiveness was enhanced by the identification of short- and long-term consequences; however, the mere identification of short- and long-term consequences alone was not effective.
