AbstractThe need for an intergrative approach to conceptualize student problem behaviors and to suggest avenues and strategies for management was recognized given the prevalence of student problem behaviors in Hong Kong schools. In surveying the different theories and models of management applicable to the school setting, the ABC models were suggested as a framework for conceptualizing student problem behaviors. Diverse strategies derived from different approaches were shown to be interpretable as different ways of maneuvering antecedents (A), behaviors(B), and consequences(C). The integrative approach was illustrated with a case example.
