Abstract in brief

  • The study used an operant methodology to analyze how specific environmental factors, such as play materials, experimenter demands, and social attention, influence self-injurious behaviors in nine developmentally disabled individuals.
  • Results showed that while there was variability in behavior both within and between subjects, six of the nine individuals consistently engaged in more self-injury in response to particular environmental stimuli, indicating a potential environmental basis for the behavior.
  • The findings highlight the importance of understanding environmental triggers of self-injury to inform and improve treatment strategies, emphasizing the role of social and physical surroundings in motivating such behaviors.]
