Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of behavior contracting on grades attained by disadvantaged junior high school students. The contract included both academic and social behaviors for which the students were awarded points. Students under contract received a grade each day on which their nine weeks’ grades were based. Grades of students under contract increased the semester the contract was applied, whereas the grades of a similar control group declined slightly.
