Effective communication is a vital component of behavioral consultation. Behavioral consultants (e.g., behavior analysts, school psychologists) are responsible for drafting behavior intervention plans, delivering accessible training, and providing concise and consumable feedback to teachers. Their reliance on technological descriptions to communicate behavioral principles and procedures may yield poor social validity and hinder the consultant-teacher relationship. In this study, we recruited 164 teachers through Amazon Mechanical Turk and administered a survey to (a) evaluate the social acceptability of technical and nontechnical language used in behavioral consultation across a variety of student populations and (b) gain information about teachers' experiences with behavioral consultation. Implications are discussed for training and the provision of behavioral consultation services.
有效的沟通是行为咨询的重要组成部分。行为咨询师（如行为分析师、学校心理学家）负责起草行为干预计划、提供易懂的培训，并向教师提供简洁明了且易于理解的反馈。他们依赖技术描述来传达行为原则和程序可能会导致社会效度低下，并阻碍咨询师与教师之间的关系。在本研究中，我们通过亚马逊土耳其机器人平台招募了164名教师，并进行了一项调查，以（a）评估在各种学生群体中行为咨询中使用的技术语言和非技术语言的社会可接受性，以及（b）获取有关教师行为咨询经历的信息。文中讨论了对培训和行为咨询服务提供的启示。
