100%). The peer-mediated intervention resulted in a small decrease in positive peer<br />

interaction. Again, however, the percentage of positive peer interaction was still at a very<br />

high level.<br />

Phillip. The third panel of Figure 6.15 represents the percentage of Phillip’s positive<br />

peer interactions and stays in the <strong>Music</strong> Hut in the four study conditions, with a total of 63<br />

sessions altogether. In baseline measurements, no <strong>Music</strong> Hut was available, and Phillip’s<br />

positive peer interactions were expectedly quite low. After the <strong>Music</strong> Hut was opened<br />

(Condition B), Phillip’s stay in the <strong>Music</strong> Hut ranged from 2.5% to 62.5%. Only in six<br />

sessions did he stay more than 30% of the allotted time. The adaptation of the playground<br />

resulted in a small increase in Phillip’s positive peer interactions with quite consistent<br />

readings to follow. With the teacher-mediated intervention (Condition C), Phillip’s stay in<br />

the <strong>Music</strong> Hut ranged from 70% to 100%. It resulted in a sharp increase in the level of data,<br />

although it was variable across days. During the peer-mediated intervention (Condition D)<br />

Phillip continued to stay in the <strong>Music</strong> Hut for a sustained period (range: 95% to 100). The<br />

peer-mediated intervention resulted in a small decrease of positive peer interaction, but the<br />

percentage of positive peer interaction remained at a very high level.<br />

Lucas. Lucas was observed a total of 71 sessions. The bottom panel of Figure 6.15<br />

shows the percentage of Lucas’ positive peer interactions and stays in the <strong>Music</strong> Hut, broken<br />

at by each condition of the study. In the baseline condition, no <strong>Music</strong> Hut was available,<br />

and Lucas’ positive peer interaction was very low and stable. When the <strong>Music</strong> Hut opened<br />

(Condition B), Lucas’ stay in the <strong>Music</strong> Hut ranged from 2.5% to 80%. In 15 sessions he<br />
