| Abstract: | Elementary teachers' responses to vignettes depicting twelve types of student problem behavior (instructional concerns: failure syndrome, perfectionist, underachiever, and low achiever; aggression problems: hostile aggressive, passive aggressive, and defiant; activity issues: short attention span, hyperactive, and immature; and peer relation difficulties: shy/withdrawn and rejected by peers) were analyzed for points of agreement across the twelve types of problem behavior concerning problem-solving strategies that involved rewards, punishments, supportive behaviors, and threatening/pressuring behaviors. Subanalyses were conducted to identify distinctions between teachers who differed by school location, grade level, teacher role perception (primarily instructor vs. primarily socializer), and management expertise (outstanding vs. average). In general, teachers' responses to the vignettes involved more punishment than reward, and supportive behavior more than threatening or pressuring behavior. (Authors) |
