We reviewed all school-based experimental studies with individuals 0 to 18 years published in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis (JABA) between 1991 and 2005. A total of 142 articles (152 studies) that met review criteria were included. Nearly all (95%) of these experiments provided an operational definition of the independent variable, but only 30% of the studies provided treatment integrity data. Nearly half of studies (45%) were judged to be at high risk for treatment inaccuracies. Treatment integrity data were more likely to be included in studies that used teachers, multiple treatment agents, or both. Although there was a substantial increase in reporting operational definitions of independent variables, results suggest that there was only a modest improvement in reported integrity over the past 30 years of JABA studies. Recommendations for research and practice are discussed.
我们回顾了1991年至2005年间发表在《应用行为分析杂志》(JABA)上的所有针对0至18岁个体的校本实验研究。总共纳入了142篇符合审查标准的文章(152项研究)。这些实验中几乎所有(95%)都提供了自变量的操作定义,但只有30%的研究提供了治疗完整性数据。近一半的研究(45%)被判定存在治疗不准确的高风险。治疗完整性数据更有可能包含在使用教师、多种治疗人员或两者兼有的研究中。尽管在报告自变量的操作定义方面有大幅增加,但结果表明,在过去30年的JABA研究中,报告的完整性仅略有改善。文中讨论了对研究和实践的建议。
