Discussion: Group Contingencies: Strengths and Limitations

Discussion: Group Contingencies: Strengths and Limitations

In situations where using individual contingencies is impractical or when a group’s behavior needs to be addressed quickly, group contingencies are often used. These contingencies are often employed in classrooms to reduce problem behavior, increase academic achievement, and capitalize on peer influence. Research has supported the use of group contingencies as effective methods of altering behavior.

One common independent group contingency, corporal punishment, continues to be scrutinized in the public school sector. According to The New York Times (Caron, 2018), the use of corporal punishment has been banned in a number of facilities and organizations but continues to be legal in 19 states. The use of corporal punishment has declined over the years. However, in areas where corporal punishment is still used, the punishment is not distributed equally, and this disparity is a cause for concern about its use.

For this Discussion, you will identify examples of group contingencies. Then, you will analyze the strengths and limitations of group contingencies.
