520 $a The effectiveness of each treatment schedule in order of valence was as follows; Self Punishment (strongest), Self Monitoring, Self Reward and Cueing Strategies (weakest).
520 $a The study was motivated by a perceived need to explore new and effective methodologies for use in health promotion and health education settings.
520 $a Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare four behavioral contingencies of Self Management in the acquisition and short term maintenance of a specified health promoting behavior in adolescent males. Specifically, strategies involving (a) Self Monitoring, (b) Stimulus Control using predetermined Cues, (c) Reward Management, and (d) Self Punishment were compared as methods by which daily physical activity levels could be established and maintained. The target behavior or dependent measure consisted of a one mile run, standardized with respect to certain performance criteria, independently observed for up to five days per week for a total of eight consecutive weeks.
520 $a Method. Using a between group experimental design which also incorporated some baseline assessment, the four treatment groups and a no treatment control were compared. Subjects were followed for eight weeks or a possible 40 repeated measures of the target behavior.
520 $a An overall test of significance between groups was applied using ANOVA repeated measures before more critical between group comparisons were made. The data was further examined in a graphic and descriptive sense and group trends noted. Particular interest was shown in the retentive characteristics reflected in the collective behaviors of each group as this is thought to be indicative of the strength of the relationship between the self management strategy and group compliance.
520 $a To ensure high levels of participation with respect to both the observation and recording of target behaviors, a secondary observer contingency was employed. Subjects were both participants in the experiment and independent observers of others. Items of personal worth were forfeited each week and subsequently returned contingent upon 'passing in' to the experimenter completed observer cards. This procedure was adopted to allow the experiment to proceed in a more realistic and 'naturalistic' setting.
520 $a Results. All groups including the control responded to the first week of intervention with levels of activity considerably higher than baseline measurements. Within a week the control group had quickly returned to levels approximating baseline, whereas the four treatment groups 'held up' with varying degrees of 'success&' for the remainder of the expermental period.
520 $a The analysis using ANOVA repeated measures revealed overall significance between groups F(4,295) = 61.83, p < 0.001, and specific differences between each treatment and the no treatment control. Similarly the Cueing Strategies group differed significantly from the other three treatment protocols as did the Self Punishment group from the Self Reward group.
520 $a Conclusions. The considerable capacities inherent in the Self Reward and Self Punishment protocols were not surprising since the daily activity was tied to a monetary incentive. However, the strength of the Self Monitoring process does suggest that health educators and health promoters should consider it as a powerful tool in the induction and short term maintenance of health promoting behavior.
