Research Basis
The Science of Improving Behavior
Researchers have found that the key promoting positive behavior is to help parents understand how and why misbehaviors occur in the first place and provide direct instruction in the use of specific types of parenting techniques.
The learning content in Attend Behavior is based on the RUBI Parent Training Program which is included in Oxford University Press’ Programs that Work Series.
Learning Content Shown to Work
The RUBI Parent Training Program has been rigorously studied in three large-scale randomized clinical trials with a specific focus on the most common misbehaviors including temper tantrums, disobedience, mild aggression, hyperactive-impulsive responding, and inattention.
Research documenting the effectiveness of RUBI’s program has appeared in some of the world’s most prestigious journals including The Journal of the American Medical Association, Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology , Clinical Child and Family Psychology Review .
