Document Summary
Behavioural contract: a written agreement between two parties in which one or both parties agree to engage in a specified level of a target behaviour or behaviours. Further more, the contract states the consequence that will be administered contingent on the occurrence of the behaviour. Five components of a behavioural contract: identifying the target behaviours, stating how the target behaviours will be measured, stating when the behaviour must be performed, identified the reinforcement or punishment contingency, identifying who will implement the contingency. One party contract: one person seeks to change a target behaviour and arranges reinforcement or punishment contingencies with a contract manager, who implements the contingencies. Two party contract: both parties identify target behaviours for change and the contingencies that will be implemented for the target behaviours. Parallel contract: separate contingency for each person"s target behaviours.
