The analysis focused on a variety of methods of behavioral self-control methods, including self-monitoring, self-evaluation, self-reinforcement, and self-determination. The results of various studies indicate that although controversy exists regarding the definition of self-control, behavioral self-control, whether considered as a package procedure or by one or two components is an effective technique for improving social and academic responding. Training in accurate self monitoring, evaluation, and issues relating to the maintenance and generalization of behavior change must also be addressed. 52 references (Author abstract modified)
