Decreasing Pilfering Behavior of an Eleven Year Old Boy.
Klann, Harriet; Shannon, Neil
A contract and point system were used to decrease the pilfering behavior of an 11-year-old boy. Under the contract system, the boy kept a daily record of his progress and earned points toward a trip to the planetarium. After introduction of the contract the pilfering dropped from at least two times a week to none at all. (LS)
