Abstract: Eighty-seven school delinquents in a traditional junior high school were used in a six-month study involving the application of a "token economy." The students were selected from the general population on the basis of poor grades, high rates of absences, disciplinary referrals and suspensions. The study was divided into four treatment phases . . . The results showed an improvement in grade point averages and attendance for the experimental group during the token economy phases.
