The research-to-practice gap is evident in many disciplines. This gap can be seen through practitioners failing to integrate the latest research findings into their work, and through the implementation of procedures that do not have empirical support. As the number of behavior-analytic practitioners grows, this gap is likely to become more salient. One solution to closing the gap is for practitioners to conduct applied research. This survey study aimed to identify specific barriers that practitioners face when conducting research, to identify how valuable conducting research is to practitioners, and to make recommendations to support research productivity in practice. We report results from survey questions about applied research and provide practical recommendations for practitioners to overcome barriers and to begin conducting research during their clinical work.
研究与实践之间的差距在许多学科中都很明显。这种差距体现在从业者未能将最新的研究成果融入到他们的工作中，以及实施缺乏实证支持的程序上。随着行为分析从业者数量的增加，这种差距可能会变得更加突出。缩小差距的一个解决办法是让从业者进行应用研究。这项调查研究旨在确定从业者在进行研究时面临的具体障碍，确定进行研究对从业者有多大价值，并提出支持实践中研究生产力的建议。我们报告了关于应用研究的调查问题结果，并为从业者提供了实用建议，以克服障碍并在临床工作期间开始进行研究。
