Abstract The Kazdin Method™ is a version of parent management training in which parents are trained to alter the behaviors of their children. The method draws on the principles and techniques of applied behavior analysis. The techniques focus on antecedents (what comes before the behavior), behavior (crafting the precise behaviors one wishes to develop), and consequences (usually praise to increase the likelihood that the desired behaviors will be performed again). The key focus is repeated practice in changing parent and child behaviors. The article traces the evolution of my use of parent training to treat severe More >

Mediation analysis found that core self-evaluation had partially mediated the relationship between adolescents’ parental involvement and school adaption. Parental involvement could directly affect adolescents’ school adaptation and indirectly affect school More >
