The field of behavior analysis is growing rapidly, and high-quality supervision is essential to producing thoughtful and effective Board Certified Behavior Analysts. There is little empirical information about the behaviors that supervisors engage in to support trainees in developing critical skills. Therefore, our purpose in this study was to survey supervisors (n = 317) about their supervision practices to better understand how frequently they engage in recommended supervision practices and whether the frequency with which they engage in recommended practices is related to demographic characteristics. Our results suggest that there is wide variability in the extent to which individual supervisors engage in recommended practices, and that supervisors engage in practices more frequently for which there are concrete guidelines and supports in place (e.g., behavioral skills training). We discuss the implications of our results for supporting supervisors to engage in recommended practices and for future research.

董事会认证行为分析师对学员的监督行为


行为分析领域正在迅速发展，高质量的监督对于培养深思熟虑且有效的董事会认证行为分析师至关重要。关于主管为支持受训者发展关键技能而采取的行为，几乎没有实证信息。因此，我们本研究的目的是调查主管（n = 317）的监管实践，以更好地了解他们采用推荐的监管做法的频率以及他们采用推荐的做法的频率是否与人口特征相关。我们的结果表明，个别主管参与推荐实践的程度存在很大差异，并且主管更频繁地参与有具体指导方针和支持（例如行为技能培训）的实践。我们讨论了我们的结果对于支持主管参与推荐实践和未来研究的影响。
