Jan W. Gasser, now associate
professor of social science at
Delta College, Midland, Michigan,
is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Lawrence Gasser of Bayshore. He
studied as a child in a two-room
schoolhouse at Oakland Bay and
in 1959 was graduated from Irene
S. Reed High School in Shelton,
receiving his master's degree from
the University of Washington in
1964.
The following interview is
reprinted from the Midland,
Michigan, Daily News.
Punishing or disciplining a
child to gain favorable behavior
isn't always the best means to
deal with the problem, according
to Jan W. Gasser, associate
professor of social science at
Delta College.
Gasser says the conscious
employment of "behavior
modification" logic with the child
is a much more effective way to
straighten negative behavior onto
a positive path.
"Behavior modification keys
on the delivery of positive
rewards contingent upon desired
behavior," said Gasser.
"Ninety-nine percent of the time
there is no punishment or
negative action.
"Punishment can eliminate
negative behavior but it doesn't
promote positive behavior," he
continued. "You can burn a
house down to eliminate a flaw,
but that measure won't produce a
new house. Persons employing
behavior modification employ the
same logic."
Everyone uses behavior
modification in real life
situations, according to Gasser,
anti in addition everyone's

remar,
behavior is modified by other
persons. But by employing
behavior modification consciously
the Delta professor says persons
can more effectively deal with
others.
"Behavior modification
doesn't work unless voluntary
cooperation is granted by the
person whose behavior is being
modified," said Gasser.
"That's why it can work so
well," he added. "By presenting
positive rewards cooperation can
often be gained from the
subject."
To establish a sample case
where behavior modification
could be employed, Gasser, who
resides in Midland, imagined a
situation where a child was failing
to keep his room straightened.
"The first thing I would do as
a parent would be to count at a
set time the number of clothing
articles stewn about the room,"
Gasser said. "I would make daily
records for at least a week.
"My next step would be to
tell the child that for every day
no clothes are found in improper
places some sort of reward would
be granted. It could be extra
food, or maybe having an extra
story read at bedtime. The child
would determine whether the
reward was indeed positive. "If
the room is left messy the reward
is ignored. The child isn't being
punished if he doesn't clean his
room. The incentive for the
reward is a positive one."
Many parents would claim
that a child would grow "spoiled"
in an environment like this.
Gasser disagrees and can illustrate
on
why.
"How long would an adult
work without a paycheck?" he
asked. "Why does a salary
increase accompany a promotion?
Our system revolves around
rewards for positive behavior."
Gasser said he would only
punish a child when the
youngster's behavior is conductive
to a threat of physical harm. He
gave the examples of a youngster

crossing a street without looking
for cars or going into the family
medicine cabinet, and said in
situations like this punishments
are advisable.
But in other situations,
Gasser's support of behavior
modification separates him from
the norm.
In school, for example, the
Delta professor feels it wrong that
students can be given a bad grade
as a form of punishment.

"What good does it do to
punish a student with a bad
grade?" Gasser said. "Why not let
him choose the grade he wants.
and then challenge him to earn
that grade? He should either get
the grade he wants or no grade at
all."
Gasser reemphasized that
behavior modification involves no
form of shock or mind-washing,
even though public
misconceptions have some people
thinking that way.
