Two hypothesized controlling variables-unpredictability and negative incentive shifts-may contribute to the occurrence of these behaviors. This targeted research synthesis and meta-analysis identified studies published in behavior-analytic journals examining interventions developed to decrease transition-related challenging behavior. Nineteen experiments across sixteen peer-reviewed articles were included in the targeted research synthesis, with interventions categorized as those incorporating a signaling stimulus (e.g., advance notice, visual schedules) or other procedures (e.g., differential reinforcement, extinction). A multilevel meta-analysis was conducted to estimate overall intervention effects and examine whether the intervention type moderated its effectiveness. Results indicated that, although overall effects were not statistically significant, consequence-based interventions without signaling stimuli were associated with greater reductions in challenging behavior.

This study translated and adapted the Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS) into Persian and evaluated its psychometric properties. The process included translation/adaptation and psychometric testing. Content validity was reviewed by 14 experts, face validity by interviews with 25 mothers, and construct validity via factor analysis with 203 mothers. Reliability was assessed through internal consistency and test-retest stability. Interviews refined the questionnaire format. Factor analysis yielded five child subscales and three parent subscales, explaining 45.11% and 56.72% of variance. The scale demonstrated strong reliability (Cronbach's alpha = .94; ICC = 0.94). Findings confirm that the Persian BPFAS is a reliable and valid tool for assessing feeding disorders in children in Persian-speaking families. Its multidimensional factor structure highlights the complexity of feeding problems and supports its use for early identification and behavioral intervention planning in clinical and community settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":48037,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Modification","volume":" ","pages":"192-211"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146183085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
