Interobserver agreement (IOA) is important for research and practice, and supports the consistency of behavioral data (Kahng et al., 2011). Although general parameters for how much IOA is needed have been suggested (Bailey & Burch, 2018), it is unknown if the total number of sessions with IOA might impact the IOA coefficient. In this study, IOA was reanalyzed using functional analysis data at various cutoffs. Obtained IOA from these analyses was then compared to the original IOA. Overall, results suggested that, at least when using highly trained observers in a structured clinical setting, there were no significant differences in IOA across cutoffs. However, IOA was sensitive to overall rate of responding in the functional analysis. These data are encouraging, particularly for practitioners, because they provide preliminary support that the amount of sessions with IOA may not be as important as the consistency of the data.

观察者间协议：初步调查多少才足够？

观察者间协议 (IOA) 对研究和实践很重要，并支持行为数据的一致性 (Kahng et al., 2011)。尽管已经提出了需要多少 IOA 的一般参数（Bailey & Burch，2018），但不知道 IOA 的会话总数是否会影响 IOA 系数。在这项研究中，IOA 使用各种截止值的功能分析数据进行了重新分析。然后将从这些分析中获得的 IOA 与原始 IOA 进行比较。总体而言，结果表明，至少在结构化临床环境中使用训练有素的观察者时，跨界值的 IOA 没有显着差异。然而，IOA 对功能分析中的总体响应率很敏感。这些数据令人鼓舞，尤其是对从业者而言，
