| Title | Research Methods in Applied Behavior Analysis : Issues and Advances |
| Author(s) | Poling, Alan;Fuqua, R. Wayne |

| Description | XIV, 352 p. 7 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | 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 |

| Title | Psychology : A Behavioral Overview |
| Author(s) | Poling, Alan;Schlinger, Henry;Starin, Stephen;Blakely, Elbert |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1990. |
| Description | XVI, 395 p. 66 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Psychology: A Behavioral Overview is an introductory text with an orienting per?? spective that is frankly behavioral rather than eclectic. This focus is made quite clear in the first chapter of the book, but in the remainder it also becomes clear that such a focus permits coverage of most of the topics found in the more common introductory text. Actually, the next five chapters (dealing with psy?? chology as a scienc~, methodology, evolution, physiology, and learning) are in many ways comparable to the treatments provided in more eclectic introductory texts. The behavioral focus and the departure from traditional approaches be?? come most significant in the last six chapters which deal with traditional psycho?? logical topics (e. g. , language, child development, and personality)-but deal with them systematically in terms of the concepts and principles introduced in the chapters on evolution and physiology, and especially in the chapter on learning. Using the concepts provided early in the text to interpret complex aspects of human behavior provides valuable justification for those concepts, as well as an opportunity for improved understanding of them. Although students will not make extensive contact with the variety of the?? oretical approaches found in the typical text, they will become especially compe?? tent in the use of behavioral concepts and principles to interpret and understand many of the topics of traditional importance in psychology |
