Concept information

Preferred term

positive behavior support  

Definition(s)

  • A relative newcomer to the literature on management of difficult behavior, and even more recently school reform, positive behavior support (PBS) traces its origins to the science of applied behavior analysis. As such, it is an extension of operant conditioning learning theory into a broader context of “discipline,” or the management of problem behavior in family, school, and community settings.
