Treatment outcome data and demographic information were collected for 140 families which participated in oppositional child treatment based upon differential reinforcement procedures. The dependent measure of generalized child behavior change in the home setting was examined with reference to variations in the following demographic items: age of child, sex of child, race of child, birth order, number of siblings, age of mother, income level of family, educational level of mother, percentage attendance during treatment, and family intactness. Three variables-age of child, percentage attendance during treatment, and family intact-ness-were found to be significantly related to the demonstration of appropriate levels of cooperative behavior in the home.
