Toward a functional analysis of self-injury.
TL;DR: Results showed a great deal of both between and within-subject variability, however, in six of the nine subjects, higher levels of self-injury were consistently associated with a specific stimulus condition, suggesting that within- subject variability was a function of distinct features of the social and/or physical environment.
