Disciplines establish and enforce professional codes of ethics in order to guide ethical and safe practice. Unfortunately, ethical breaches still occur. Interestingly, it is found that breaches are often perpetrated by professionals who are aware of their codes of ethics and believe that they engage in ethical practice. The constructs of behavioral ethics, which are most often discussed in business settings, attempt to explain why ethical professionals sometimes engage in unethical behavior. Although traditionally based on theories of social psychology, the principles underlying behavioral ethics are consistent with behavior analysis. When conceptualized as operant behavior, ethical and unethical decisions are seen as being evoked and maintained by environmental variables. As with all forms of operant behavior, antecedents in the environment can trigger unethical responses, and consequences in the environment can shape future unethical responses. In order to increase ethical practice among professionals, an assessment of the environmental variables that affect behavior needs to be conducted on a situation-by-situation basis. Knowledge of discipline-specific professional codes of ethics is not enough to prevent unethical practice. In the current article, constructs used in behavioral ethics are translated into underlying behavior-analytic principles that are known to shape behavior. How these principles establish and maintain both ethical and unethical behavior is discussed.

行为伦理:道德实践不仅仅是记住合规守则

学科建立和执行职业道德规范,以指导道德和安全实践。不幸的是,违反道德的行为仍然存在。有趣的是,发现违规行为通常是由了解其道德准则并相信他们从事道德实践的专业人士所为。最常在商业环境中讨论的行为伦理结构试图解释为什么道德专业人士有时会从事不道德的行为。尽管传统上以社会心理学理论为基础,但行为伦理学的基本原则与行为分析是一致的。当概念化为操作性行为时,道德和不道德的决定被视为由环境变量引起和维持。与所有形式的操作行为一样,环境中的前因可能引发不道德的反应,而环境中的后果可能会塑造未来的不道德反应。为了增加专业人士的道德实践,需要根据具体情况对影响行为的环境变量进行评估。了解特定学科的职业道德规范不足以防止不道德的行为。在当前的文章中,行为伦理学中使用的结构被转化为潜在的行为分析原则,这些原则已知会塑造行为。讨论了这些原则如何建立和维护道德和不道德行为。需要根据具体情况对影响行为的环境变量进行评估。了解特定学科的职业道德规范不足以防止不道德的行为。在当前的文章中,行为伦理学中使用的结构被转化为潜在的行为分析原则,这些原则已知会塑造行为。讨论了这些原则如何建立和维护道德和不道德行为。需要根据具体情况对影响行为的环境变量进行评估。了解特定学科的职业道德规范不足以防止不道德的行为。在当前的文章中,行为伦理学中使用的结构被转化为潜在的行为分析原则,这些原则已知会塑造行为。讨论了这些原则如何建立和维护道德和不道德行为。
