Course Description: Discusses that, while the rules and ethical guidelines that guide professional decision-making are often interpreted in black-and-white absolutes, the thinking process behind the practice guidelines are actually much more nuanced. Explores the necessity for an understanding of the why behind a particular guideline to arrive at truly ethical conclusions. Includes guidance through common ethical frameworks and uses examples from the everyday work of a behavior analyst.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe considerations of common ethical frameworks such as categorical imperatives and utilitarianism.
  • State the reasons behind particular BCBA ethical guidelines such as bartering and gift-giving.
  • Describe situations in which one might inadvertently stumble into behavior that could be interpreted as unethical (e.g., fundraising or giving too powerful a reinforcer to be turned down).

Keywords: Ethics, cultural competency, fundraising, social media, code, standards, conduct, BACB standards

Rating: This course is recommended for BCBAs and BCaBAs, particularly those who were certified under previous ethical guidelines. This course is eligible for ethics CE credit. Designed for those practicing in the field of behavior analysis to maintain a professional and ethical practice.
