Abstract
A fixed token economy and a flexible behavioral contracting system were employed in a treatment program for juvenile delinquents. Locus of control, a person variable, was also measured and its relationship to program effectiveness assessed. Results indicated that internally-oriented delinquents committed fewer offenses and evidenced lower recidivism rates than did externally-oriented delinquents. Results were discussed within a social learning framework for the treatment of juvenile delinquents.
