Abstract: Disruptive behaviors are a source of concern in schools. Differential reinforcement strategies are often recommended to reduce their emergence by withholding access to their reinforcer while reinforcing appropriate behaviors. Differential Reinforcement for All (DR-All) refers to using a differential reinforcement strategy in the same way for all the students in a class, which would be even beneficial if applied consistently throughout the school year. This meta-analysis includes 16 single-case studies conducted in regular primary schools. The results revealed an effect of the DR-All strategy on the reduction of disruptive behaviors. They also showed a large effect size heterogeneity across studies, partly explained by several moderators. DR-All points to an effective way to reduce disruption in regular classroom situations.
