Culture in Applied Behavior Analysis
Staddon (2021) states “every successful society relies on values that may well be essential to its success.” In this week’s readings, you explored this behavior analytic interpretation of culture and values and their relationship with ABA intervention. Be sure you have watched the video The Professional Infrastructure of Applied Behavior Analysis (Behavior Analyst Certification Board, 2020).
Please respond to the following:
First, provide a behavior analytic definition of “culture” and values”.
Then, using your readings for support, discuss some factors that contribute to the relationship between values and culture.
Next, review the philosophical and scientific foundations of applied behavior analysis that you have considered through the course to date. Based on your review, discuss whether and how these foundations contribute to a values-based culture of applied behavior analysis.
Please go on to discuss how one of the therapeutic approaches you read about this week (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassionate Care, or Trauma Informed Practice support a values-based culture in ABA.
Finally, after viewing the video, describe the ways that professional organizations and other institutions function to promote the values and culture of applied behavior analysis.
