The branch of clinical psychology known as behavior modification
or, synonymously, applied behavior analysis, has grown
substantially from humble beginnings in the 1960s. Many colleges
and universities now offer courses in applied behavior analysis,
and more than a few grant degrees in the area. Although they remain
controversial, behavior mod ification procedures have been used to
good advantage in dealing with a range of problem behaviors and are
now rather widely employed in schools, residential institutions,
and other therapeutic facilities. The two hallmarks of applied
behavior analysis are utilization of the principles of operant
conditioning to improve human behavior and utilization of
scientific research methodology to assess the effectiveness of
treatments. The present text provides an overview of several issues
peculiar to applied behavior analysis research methodology. Six
general areas of concern are (a) trends in applied behavior
analysis research, (b) assessment and measurement issues, (c)
experimental designs and strategies, (d) interpretation of
findings, (e) ethical issues in applied behavior analysis, and (f)
the societal impact of studies in the area. As evidenced by a
sizable number of recently published articles, these topics are of
considerable interest to behavior analysts. They also are relevant
for students of scientific epistemology and general psychological
research methods."
