Treatment Acceptability with Case Severity - Experiment 2
Objective: To replicate treatment acceptability assessment and examine whether severity of the presenting clinical problem influences ratings of acceptability across alternative treatments for deviant child behavior
This is a Treatment Acceptability with Case Severity - Experiment 2 protocol using human as the model organism. The procedure involves 3 procedural steps, 2 materials. Extracted from a 1980 paper published in Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis.

Key equipment and reagents
Use this page as an execution guide, then fall back to the source paper whenever you need exact exclusions, dosing details, or assay-specific caveats.
Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.

Present clinical cases and treatments
Clinical cases were described to undergraduate students along with four different treatments presented in a Replicated Latin Square Design
Note: Design was replicated from Experiment 1

Describe treatment applications
The four treatments (reinforcement of incompatible behavior, time out from reinforcement, drug therapy, and electric shock) were described as they were applied to children with problem behaviors
Note: Treatments were presented in context of application to children

Assess treatment acceptability
Participants rated the acceptability of each treatment, with variation in case severity as the independent variable of interest
Note: This experiment specifically examined whether severity of the presenting clinical problem influenced ratings of acceptability
