Abstract
Applied behavior analysis has demonstrated its effectiveness to increase prosocial behavior in children with aggressive behavior through parent and teacher training, however, research work is limited regard the additive effect of the treatment with both agents. The target of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention program addressed to teachers and another addressed to parents in a quasi-experimental study with A-B-A design. Three teachers, 14 parents and 94 students participated, identifying 14 who presented aggressive behavior and showed deficits in pro-social behavior. The intervention programs used in the study were organized in 2 experimental conditions, the first included only parent training and the second included parent training plus teacher training in behavior modification techniques. Results showed that the intervention with 2 agents was the most effective to increase prosocial behavior and decrease aggressive behavior in the family context compared with the group that received only parent training. Also the combined treatment showed significant changes in the school context.
