Applied
investigates socially significant behaviors with immediate
importance to the subject(s).
Behavioral
- Precise measurement of the actual behavior in need of
improvement & documents that it was the participant's
behavior that changed.
- The behavior in need of improvement and it is a study of
behavior (not about behavior)
- The behavior must be measurable
- Important to note whose behavior has changed
, Analytic
Demonstrates experimental control over the occurrence and
nonoccurrence of the behavior—that is, if a functional relation
is demonstrated.
Technological
Written description of all procedures in the study is sufficiently
complete and detailed to enable others to replicate it
Conceptually systematic
behavior change interventions are derived from basic principles
of behavior
Effective
improves behavior sufficiently to produce practical results for
the participant/client.
Generality
Produces behavior changes that last over time, appear in other
environments, or spread to other behaviors.
