Research Ethics in Behavior Analysis: From Laboratory to Clinic and Classroom

Research Ethics in Behavior Analysis: From Laboratory to Clinic and Classroom is a reference guide for behavior analysts who conduct, supervise or consume research specific in behavior analysis. This book is sequenced to follow the natural research process, beginning with an introduction to the history of research ethics that led to modern principles and values of scientific research ethics. The reader is taken through sequential steps from obtaining resources to support a research project through participant recruitment, conducting the study, communicating results and supporting replication. Each chapter incorporates critical and under-discussed topics unique to research in behavior analysis.

Specific sections cover balancing methodological rigor with clinical outcomes, aligning research and clinical goals, assessing generalization of research findings (i.e., the population and cultural background of subjects matter but we don't talk about this in BA research), the grey lines of assent and consent for intervention vs. research, identifying and obtaining resources to support research, conflicts of interest, using technology and social media, and ethically handling data.
