Abstract...based on the assumption that inferential statistics can makethe operant conditioner more sensitive to possible significant relation-ships, regression models were developed to test the statistical significancebetween slopes and Y intercepts of the experimental and control groupsubjects. These results were then compared to the traditional operantconditioning eyeball technique analysis.

The Development and Demonstration of Multiple RegressionModels for Operant Conditioning Questions

Fred FanningIsadore Newman

The University of Akron

Summarization of research in operant psychology has relied predomi-nately upon descriptive statistics. Probably the main reason inferentialstatistics has been given little attention is that early operant researchyielded such clear-cut distinctions that it was not necessary to resort totests of statistical significance. A second reason may be the lack of advicefrom statisticians regarding limitations of single subject data.

Presently, much research in operant psychology is being done in the .

natural environment outside the laboratory, as applied beharior modification.In these settings, the control of extraneous variables is more difficult toachieve. As a result, data may fail to exhibit the clear magnitude of effectsobserved in data from a laboratory manipulation. When this occurs, signi-ficant results may not be immediately obvious even though the expected trendseems to be present. When some doubt exists concerning the outcome of anexperimental manipulation using behavior modification procedures , considerationshould be given to the use of inferential statistics. A number of inferentialstatistical models are currently available that may assist the operant researcherin analyzing his data. These models are essentially specific applicationsof the generalized analysis of variance using multiple regression proceduresto partial variance.

The purpose of this paper is to develop and .demonstrate regression modelsthat may be useful to operant conditioners for statistically analyzing theirdata. A comparison will be presented between a regression approach toanswering operant conditioning questions and traditional operant analysis andinterpretations of the same data.

The research questions dealt with here are only examples of the manypossible kinds of questions which can be dealt with effectively using multipleregression procedures. Models will be developed to test the following questions:

METHOD

Subjects. The total subject group consisted of twelve male and female

students selected from a pool of names referred for chronic tardiness behavior

by the school psychologist, teachers, and counselors at Westland High School,

population 1,700, near Columbus, Ohio. Selection was made on the basis

of the highest reported frequency of tardiness behavior.

The sample included one male freshman, four male and one female

sophomores, two male and one female juniors, and three male seniors. All

subjects were white, from approximately middle class socioeconomic back

ground..

Material. The behavioral instruction program used in this design was

a modification of Hall's book (1971, Pt. II) describing the basic principles

of behavior modification.

The content of the control group instruction for both the teacher's daily

lesson plans and the course outline, was taken from the general psychology

text (Engle and Snellgrove, 1969), which students were given to use during

this instruction.

PROCEDURE

During the initial phase of this design, the control period, the twelve

subjects were assigned to three groups, four subjects to each group. Groups

1, 2, and 3 received a control treatment consisting of classroom instruction

in general psychology. Immediately following the control period, the four

students in Group 1 began receiving behavioral instruction treatment, consis-

ting of classroom instruction in behavioral principles and their application.

Group 2 continued receiving classroom instruction in general psychology, and

Group 3 received general psychology instruction. When a decelerating trend

in Group.l's tardiness behavior was noted, following instruction in behavioral

principles, then Group 2 began receiving instruction in beh4vioral principles,

and no longer received instruction in general psychology. When a decelerating

trend in Group 2's tardiness behavior was noted, general psychology'instruc-

tion was terminated with Group 3, and they began receiving instruction in

behavioral principles. Group 1 and 2 continued receiving behavioral instruc-

tion throughout the remainder of the four week class.

ANALYSIS

The data was analy2ed using two techniques:

(1) A multiple baseline design was used to demonstrate the effectivenessof the group instruction in behavioral principles (independent variable)on decelerating tardiness behavior (dependent variable). The multiple*baseline design used for analysis of data is illustrated in Figure 1.Further information concerning the use of this type of design can beobtained by reference to Baer, et. al., (1968); Hall, et. al. , (1970);and Hall, (1971, Pt. 1). Additional data representing the totalfrequency of tardiness for the 3 groups is illustrated in Table 1.

(2) Multiple regression was used to test the same hypothesis as theabove traditional method for analyzing the data (see 1 above).For an example of how the data is set up, Figure 2 presents thehypothesis and models used to test them.

EXAMPLE MODELS

Research Hypothesis 1: The control group mean (C1) is significantly higherthan the experimental group mean (E1) above andbeyond person differences (P) + E.

Model 1: Y1 v

Model 2: Y =a U + a(P1 ) + a ( P ) + a5 ( P ) + a ( P ) + E1. 0

Research Hypothesis 2: The slopes of the experimental group (D ) iselsignificantly different than the slope of the

control (D ) group above and beyond personcldifferences (P).

Model 3: Y =a0U+a

Model 4: Y =a U + a (C ) + a (E ). + a (Day) + a (P ) + + a (P ) + Error1 0 1 1 2 1 7 5 1 6 4

In this example there were four persons (P1

, P2

, P3

, and P4). During the control

condition (C1) each was measured on three consecutive days (D) The same

four persons were again measured on three consecutive days during the experi-

mental condition (E1).

RESULTS AND DISCU3SION

Table 2 presents the results of the regression analysis testing each

of the fifteen questions. The operant analysis of these questions is

presented in Table 3. In comparing these tables one should note that there

is only disagreement on question five.

One major advantage of using the regression procedure, rather than

the traditional eyeball technique is that probability estimates can be attri-

buted to the accuracy of the statements.

Another advantage of the regressions procedure used is ability to test

the curvilinear relationships above and beyond linear ones, which is not

feasible with the eyeball technique on multiple baseline analysis. Similarily,

one cannot test to see if the slopes of the control group are significantly

different statistically.

In addition, as demonstrated in this paper we can also test to see 4f

the functional relationship of one treatment is significantly different: from the

functional relationship of some other treatment (across some area of interest).

These advantages represent only some of the additional information

which can be obtained through statistical analysis of operant data.
