This research was published by the KU Center for Research on Learning, formerly known as the University of Kansas Institute for Research in Learning Disabilities.This study developed and evaluated a self-instructional booklet that teaches adolescents to change their behaviors with minimal intervention from other individuals. The subjects, to varying degrees, learned the principles of self-control and applied the principles to their own behaviors. The application of the sett-control procedures produced inconsistent results both within and across subjects
