“…ABAB design is a single-case design in which the intervention condition response is compared to baseline responses recorded before the intervention, and with a follow-up response (Christensen, Johnson, Turner, & Christensen, 2011). The ABAB design used in this study employed the following four phases: (a) baseline, (b) hypocrisy condition, (c) return to baseline, and (d) follow up (Wine, Freeman, & King, 2015).…”

<p>Litter has serious implications for the environment and is recognised as a significant form of marine and terrestrial pollution. A major source of litter pollution is recreational litter. Although litter is identified as an environmental problem, the propensity to litter continues within society. Behaviour change interventions have significant potential to influence the production of recreational litter. A shift in littering behaviour is necessary to reduce the environmental impact litter has on terrestrial and marine ecosystems. This research used the framework Community-Based Social Marketing to identify the barriers and benefits of littering as well as interventions to increase the reduction of littering in a school setting. The behaviour change interventions hypocrisy and goal setting were selected and separately implemented in two Intermediate schools in the Greater Wellington Region of New Zealand. Behaviour change was assessed using pre, post, and follow up litter counts on school grounds, and supported by interviews with student, teacher and parent participants. Results found both interventions to be significant in reducing the rate of recreational littering when used in conjunction with education. Goal setting was also found to be significant in reducing wrappers in school lunches. Cognitive, situational, and personal variables, as well as key stakeholders, were also recognised as influencing the litter and packaging behaviour of participants. Findings from this research can be used to support the selection and implementation of future behaviour change interventions and campaigns, specifically those targeting the behaviour of littering in a school setting.</p>

Behavioral Interventions

The identification of interventions that are both effective and efficient is an ongoing need for the practice of applied behavior analysis. The parallel treatments design (PTD) has been described as powerful tool for comparing interventions in applied settings. The PTD combines elements of the multiple probe design and the adapted alternating treatments design. Execution of a PTD requires adherence to experimental tactics related to both designs, as well as adherence to specific features of the PTD outlined by the original authors (Gast & Wolery, 1988). The purpose of this systematic literature review was to evaluate (a) publication trends with the PTD, (b) applications of the PTD across behaviors and interventions, and (c) the extent to which articles that named the PTD as the design adhered to its defining features. Outcomes are discussed with respect to the utility of the PTD, limitations of the PTD, and potential refinements of the definition of the PTD.
