This article comprises two distinct components. First is the delineation of a typology that encompasses the various approaches by which marketers can track the behavior of an individual in the marketplace. A total of 17 broad approaches were identified. Associated with each technique is the issue of whether personal information is being extracted via the tracking process, whether consumers’ involvement is voluntary, and – if voluntary – what action was required on the part of the consumer. The 17 approaches are far from reflecting a homogeneous approach to the data gathering process. The second part of the study focused on …

A New In-Store Digital Landscape: Effect On Engagement, Innovativeness, And Unplanned Grocery Shopping Outcomes, Dale Cake, Vikas Agrawal, Douglas Johansen

AMTP Proceedings 2018

Digital technologies are having a profound effect on the path to purchase in a grocery retail environment. Secondary research data on shopping habits is used to analyze the relationship of consumer digital technology use, a consumer’s innovativeness, and consumer engagement with unplanned grocery shopping behavior within a grocery store environment. Findings indicate that all of three variables have a direct, significant effect on unplanned grocery shopping outcomes and that innovativeness has a direct effect on engagement. Future study will consider the impact of key market segments, shopping situations and digital technology types.

Growing Apart: Collectivism And Acculturation, Sean Sawicki, Sindy Chapa

AMTP Proceedings 2018

Geert Hofstede’s cultural research serves as a guide to understanding how the different dimensions (collectivism/individualism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity/femininity, indulgence, and short-/long-term orientation) vary between cultures and ethnicities. However, little research exists to show the relationship that exists between acculturation and these dimensions—specifically, with collectivism. Because Hispanics rank exceptionally high with collectivism, this research aims to explore the relationship between acculturation of Hispanics and collectivism. Suggestions as it pertains to findings as well as future research are included.

A Review Of The Literature On Behavior Management Interventions For School Buses, Krystal Kennedy Phd, Bcba, Seth A. King Phd, Bcba

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

The lack of adult supervision on school buses facilitates traffic-related injury, bullying, and other infractions. This review identified studies evaluating behavior interventions designed to improve student behaviors on school buses. Identified studies provided limited information regarding the characteristics of participants and generally assessed the effect of driver or researcher implemented reinforcement, punishment, and other management activities on the behavior of all passengers. Studies yielded modest findings and did not satisfy the most recent quality indicators of the Council of Exceptional Children. Implications for practice and future research follow a discussion of findings.

Let's Get Social: Practical Strategies To Help Teachers & Parents Encourage Social Skills Development, Lenaya Smith Crawford

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

We live in a social world and children need the tools necessary to adapt in a world that requires social interaction. These skills help children to succeed socially, emotionally, academically and mentally. Parents and teachers should be aware of the signs and the diagnoses associated with social skills difficulty. They also need more practical tools and strategies to help children both identify social skills and improve their social interactions. By offering social skills coaching as an avenue of early intervention it is our goal to equip caregivers with the necessary tools to learn, identify and implement strategies that will benefit …

Teacher Motivating Style And Pbis Interventions For Challenging Students, Richard Scott Lee

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

Students with emotional and behavior disorders (EBD) experience a variety of difficulties in school and generally have poor post-school outcomes. This presentation will focus on original research conducted with teachers in several Georgia Network for Education and Therapeutic Services (GNETS) schools. The researcher studied the differences between the motivation styles that teachers employ with students and compare the types of interventions the same teachers used in their work with students. Using a published survey instrument, participating teachers provided information on their approach to motivating students as either autonomously oriented or controlling oriented and provided the tier 2 and tier 3 …

Everyone On The Same Page: District, Family And Community Collaboration, Dr. Michele F. Flowers

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

As Districts embark on the PBIS journey to reduce problem behaviors and increase adaptive, socially appropriate behaviors, buy-In from ALL major stakeholders is critical to the overall success of PBIS implementation. It is not enough to just have a few people in the school or district to buy in if a climate and society in which appropriate behavior is the norm is to be established. District, family, and community support is vital to the sustainability of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. The support of PBIS by all major stakeholders ensures the continued ability of the school to decrease office discipline …

Teacher-Student Relationships: Strengthening The Impact Of Pbis On Climate, Kate Mcphee, Kiarra Givhan, Emily N. Srisarajivakul, Vanessa Ramirez, Ella Taylor, Kris Varjas, Catherine Perkins, Joel Meyers

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

Researchers have emphasized the importance of teacher-student relationships (TSRs), showing that the quality of these relationships can have significant, short and long-term effects on student outcomes and school climate (Baker, Grant & Morlock, 2008; Guess & Bowling, 2013; Hamre & Pianta, 2001). While School-Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (SW-PBIS) also has positive effects on school climate (Bradshaw, Waasdorp & Leaf, 2015), little research has been done to examine how SW-PBIS and TSRs intersect to influence student outcomes and school climate. This presentation will address the integration of these two factors as perceived by practitioners responsible for implementing SW-PBIS.

A Person's A Person No Matter How Small - Understanding The Role Of Temperament In Working With Toddlers And Young Children, Kimberly B. Robinson, Ann Vanbuskirk Dr.

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

Early childhood and educational research have indicated that a young child’s temperament is predictive of success in school and adulthood. A child’s temperament has the potential to impact not only their interpretation of life events, but can also influence the activities that they choose and how adults respond to and interact with them. Child temperament research has identified three widely known profiles based on nine dimensions of behavior: “difficult”, “easy”, and “slow to warm up”. The purpose of this presentation is to provide information about child temperament and the ways in which adults can use positive relational interventions to teach …
