Abstract
The aim of the study was to examine the effectiveness of an intervention strategy with parents, based on the perspective of social interaction, in order to decrease child behavior problems. Participants were 15 children (eleven boys and four girls) with their mothers. Children ages ranged from five to eight years, and the average age of mothers was 27.8 years. A single case experimental design was used and behavioral teaching procedures such as instructions, modeling, shaping and visual feedback were applied. Analysis of sequential dependencies and time sequences sensitive to processes of positive and negative reinforcement operating in coercive relationships were carried out. The suitable intervention increased prosocial behavior in mothers and decreased aversive behavior in children. Moreover, the observed change in positive parenting appears to mediate the change in child behavior problems.
