Shine, Lester C., II – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1981
An integrated study of Shine's actualized and pure single-subject behavior functions can produce more information than studying only one function. After summarizing the mathematics behind Shine's viewpoint, an ordinary regression analysis approach to the actualized behavior function is integrated with a time-series analysis approach to the pure…

Morrow, William R. – 1974
The primary aim of this research project was to test the hypothesis that successful teacher- and parent-mediated direct modification, by operant techniques, of youngsters' deviant behavior would tend to be followed by significant positive changes in the youngsters' self-concepts. Two studies were done. In the first, focusing on teacher-mediated…
