✦ Synopsis

This study examined the effects of publicly-posted performance feedback on the in-hospital behavior of patients residing on a self-management unit at a large, state operated, psychiatric treatment facility. When contrasted to a baseline phase in which staff received weekly information regarding patients' performance, scores in six of the eight assessment areas improved when this information was provided directly to patients. The authors' conclude that performance feedback may be a useful adjunct to inpatient treatment programs because it clarifies programmatic expectations, helps focus attention on developing strategies or interventions to meet those expectations, and encourages active treatment participation from patients and staff.

In general, "performance feedback" refers to the presentation of information to an individual that is intended to influence or guide the future occurrence of a particular behavior or set of behaviors (Hundert, 1985). While many examples of this sort of information may be cited from everyday life (e.g., school report cards, business audits, work evaluations, etc.), behavior analysts have been particularly creative in their use of programs including performance feedback to modify behavior of clinical, educational, or practical importance. For instance, feedback has been used in the classroom (VanHouten
