This paper compares facets of behavior analysis and intersectional feminist theory. We begin by describing the history of issues related to gender and sexuality in behavior analysis. Then, we explain how the goals of feminism and applied behavior analysis are aligned, with a focus on intersectional feminism. Intersectional feminism examines the influence of interacting variables (e.g., race, gender, and sexuality) that affect one's experiences and behaviors, rather than focusing on a single factor, such as gender. Pragmatic behaviorism and intersectionality have many parallels, and by exploring them, researchers can generate more comprehensive explanations of behavior. With prevalent gender, race, and sexual orientation biases in contemporary society, it may be important for behavior analysts to be able to recognize these contingencies that have been previously overlooked. Describing the conceptual commonalities between these disciplines may be a stride towards inclusivity and advancement of the goals of each discipline.
本文比较了行为分析与交叉性女权主义理论的各个方面。我们首先描述行为分析中与性别和性取向相关问题的历史。然后，我们解释女权主义和应用行为分析的目标是如何一致的，重点是交叉性女权主义。交叉性女权主义考察相互作用的变量（如种族、性别和性取向）对一个人的经历和行为的影响，而不是只关注单一因素，如性别。实用行为主义和交叉性有许多相似之处，通过探索它们，研究人员可以对行为做出更全面的解释。鉴于当代社会中普遍存在的性别、种族和性取向偏见，行为分析师能够识别这些以前被忽视的意外情况可能很重要。描述这些学科之间的概念共性可能是朝着包容性和推进各学科目标迈出的一步。
