Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions (JPBI)

The Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions (JPBI) is an international, quarterly peer‑reviewed journal published by SAGE Publications in association with the Hammill Institute on Disabilities and the Association for Positive Behavior Support. Established in 1999, JPBI serves as a leading academic forum for advancing research‑based principles and practices in positive behavior support (PBS), a strengths‑based framework designed to improve behavioral outcomes by prioritizing proactive, non‑aversive interventions across school, home, and community contexts. The journal publishes high‑quality empirical studies, literature reviews, conceptual analyses, and descriptions of programs and practices that contribute to understanding and improving behavioral support for children, youth, and adults with behavioral challenges. Its scope emphasizes not only evidence generation but also real‑world application, bridging research and practice through articles that foster innovation, debate, and translation of findings into effective interventions. Over its publication history, JPBI has highlighted research on school‑wide PBS systems, multi‑tiered support frameworks, functional behavioral assessment, and strategies that enhance social and educational outcomes for diverse learners. With a multidisciplinary editorial board and rigorous peer review, the journal informs educators, researchers, clinicians, and policymakers seeking to incorporate empirically validated behavior support practices into educational and therapeutic settings. Its quarterly publication ensures a consistent flow of influential scholarship that shapes PBS theory and practice worldwide.
