The Effectiveness of Contingency‐specific and Contingency‐nonspecific Prompts in Controlling Bathroom Graffiti

Year: 2000

Type: article

Abstract: This study replicates and extends the work of Watson (1996) in which a sign eliminated graffiti when posted on bathroom walls. The present study investigated the effects of three different signs on walls in six men's bathrooms located on a university campus. Posting the signs was followed by the elimination or sharp reduction of graffiti. Removal of the signs was followed by a resurgence of graffiti.
