We examined publicly available faculty salaries for men and women faculty members at 16 university programs accredited by the Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI). Overall, 52.4% of the 103 faculty members were women, although there were twice as many men as women at the full-professor level. Our data suggest that ABAI-accredited training programs pay women less than men at all academic levels. Both in absolute terms and relative to the wage gap reported in other areas of psychology, the difference in mean wages for women and men in our sample was substantial. The mean salaries of men were 13%, 6%, and 15% greater than those of women at the assistant-, associate-, and full-professor levels, respectively. At all levels, the highest salary reported was earned by a man, and the lowest salary was earned by a woman. This is an embarrassment for our discipline. It is time for a change, and we behavior analysts have the tools to make change happen. Let us put those tools to good use.
我们调查了国际行为分析协会(ABAI)认证的16个大学项目中男女教员的公开薪资情况。总体而言,103名教员中有52.4%为女性,不过正教授级别中男性数量是女性的两倍。我们的数据表明,ABAI认证的培训项目在所有学术级别上支付给女性的薪资都低于男性。无论是从绝对值还是相对于心理学其他领域所报告的工资差距而言,我们样本中男女平均工资的差异都很大。助理教授、副教授和正教授级别中,男性的平均薪资分别比女性高出13%、6%和15%。在各个级别中,报告的最高薪资由男性获得,最低薪资由女性获得。这对我们这个学科来说是一种尴尬。是时候做出改变了,而我们行为分析师有促使改变发生的工具。让我们好好利用这些工具。
