FAQ
In contingency statements, the consequence of the possible act can also be some behavior: If Joe plays his drums at night, the neighbors might complain. If you feed the dog at the table during our meals, he will often come begging during our meals. If you park illegally, the cop may give you a ticket.
In psychology, contingency contracting is used to create a contract between the therapist and the individual seeking help. The contract outlines the specific behaviors or goals that the individual wants to achieve. The therapist outlines the reward system that will be used to reinforce the desired behavior.
The objectives for the examples above might be “raises hand and waits to be called on five times each hour” (if the student is, for example, raising his hand three times and interrupting five times) or “completes 60% of math worksheets.”
For example, a person with substance abuse can contract with co-workers to attend work sober, a person with schizophrenia can contract with a therapist to maintain medication use, and a person with depression can contract with friends to increase attendance at social events.
Example of a Contingency Contract One straightforward example might be a child who agrees with their parent that if they get an A in a particular class, they will get a new bicycle. Of course, the contract may be verbal, and it may be between family members.
