FAQ

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.”

A contingency clause should clearly outline the conditions, how the conditions are to be fulfilled, and which party is responsible for fulfilling them. The clause should also provide a timeframe for what happens if the condition is not met.

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.
