Ethics and Effective Programs

Your text describes many areas in which ethics should be applied and describes the various guidelines that govern the practice of Organizational Behavior Management (OBM). In addition to these guidelines, behavior analysts practicing within organizations, as well as working with individuals, must abide by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s (BACB’s) professional and ethical compliance code.

For this week’s Discussion you should consider specific areas highlighted in your text and the BACB code to answer the following:

  1. In your own words, what are ethics?
  2. What are specific ethical concerns that apply to behavior analysis in organizations?
  3. Select one of the interventions or research designs you discussed during the term. Identify one of the specific codes from the BACB compliance code and describe how it applies to the intervention.
  4. Discuss the importance of ethics in creating and analyzing effective behavior analytic programs.
