The use of social validation procedures has become widespread in recent years. Although most researchers have used social validation procedures to select target behaviors and to evaluate whether the changes produced by a treatment program should be considered socially useful, little attention has been focused upon using the social validation process to determine the optimal levels for target behaviors. This paper suggests several ways in which social validation procedures can be employed in order to select when and how much to change target behaviors.
近年来,社会验证程序的使用已变得十分普遍。尽管大多数研究人员已使用社会验证程序来选择目标行为,并评估治疗方案所产生的变化是否应被视为具有社会效用,但很少有人关注利用社会验证过程来确定目标行为的最佳水平。本文提出了几种可以采用社会验证程序的方法,以便选择何时以及对目标行为进行多大程度的改变。
