Abstract:
Behavior analysts, like many professionals, are expected to follow and comply with a code of ethics appropriate to the field and to their specialization. Such codes provide rule-governed behavior, direct, and indirect-acting contingencies on actual behavior for compliance and non-compliance. The extent to which actual behavior conforms to codes of ethics is a function of several factors, including the clarity of the code, and the extent to which contingencies are (a) immediate versus delayed; (b) probable versus improbable; and (c) of greater or lesser magnitude. In this webinar, we will cover how for behavior analysts it is imperative to develop a strong commitment to acting ethically, regardless of the immediate versus delayed consequences.
Learning Objectives:
- By the end of the presentation, the audience should be able to state the following.
- How the following factors affect adherence with ethical codes:
- Clarity of the rules,
- Immediate versus delayed consequences
- Probable versus improvable consequences
- Greater versus lesser magnitude consequence
- Why it is imperative for professional to develop a strong commitment to acting ethically Some strategies for developing a strong commitment to acting ethically
