Compliance at home could stay the same if kids are consistent.

I believe it might actually decrease if there's no reinforcement at home.

Wait, how can we be sure it would be more variable?

Totally agree, the school program won't cover home behavior.

I feel like compliance would increase at home because of the positive reinforcement from school, but I could be wrong.

I’m leaning towards option A, but I’m not entirely confident. It seems like the lack of reinforcement at home could lead to inconsistency.

I remember a practice question about this! I’m not sure if it would stay the same or become more variable, though.

I think compliance at home might actually decrease since the school program could create a contrast effect.

This is a tricky one. I'm not totally sure, but I think the answer might be that compliance at home would be more variable. The contrast between the school and home environments could lead to inconsistent behavior, with the student sometimes complying and sometimes not, depending on the situation.

I'm pretty confident I know the answer to this one. Based on the concept of behavioral contrast, if there's a strong compliance program at school but nothing at home, compliance at home would be expected to increase. The difference between the two settings would make the home environment seem more reinforcing.

Okay, I've got this. If there's an effective compliance program at school but not at home, the contrast between the two environments would likely lead to decreased compliance at home. The lack of a formal program there would stand out more in comparison.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know behavioral contrast has to do with changes in behavior when the reinforcement contingencies change, but I'm not sure how that applies here. I'll have to think it through carefully.

This question is asking about the concept of behavioral contrast, which I remember learning about in class. I think the key is to consider how the effective program at school would impact compliance at home where there is no formal program.

Compliance at home? Good luck with that. I'm just going to hide in the bathroom and pretend I don't hear anything. But in all seriousness, I think B is the way to go here.

Aha, the age-old question of how to wrangle those little rascals. I reckon B is the answer - compliance at home would decrease if there's no program there to back up the one at school. Gotta keep those ducks in a row!

Haha, the old 'do as I say, not as I do' approach. Classic. I'm gonna go with D - compliance at home would stay the same, because kids are rebels at heart, am I right?

Oof, this one's a tricky one. I'm leaning towards A - if there's an effective program at school but not at home, compliance at home could become more variable. Gotta keep those environments aligned, you know?

This question really makes me think about the importance of a consistent approach at home and school. I'm going with B - compliance at home would likely decrease if there's no formal program there.

Yes, that way we can see more consistent results in behavior.

It's interesting to consider how different environments can impact behavior.

I think you're right, without a program at home, compliance might decrease.

So, we should make sure to have similar strategies at home and school.

I disagree, I think compliance at home would be more variable because each environment is different.

I agree with Kris, because if there's a program at school, it might influence behavior at home.
