Ethical Decision-Making Models
Ethics CEUs
About this Bundle
Why is this topic important?
Ethical decision making is a core professional competency for behavior analysts, yet the process is not always systematic or consistent. The most recent Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts, which took effect in 2022, embedded a structured ethical decision-making process directly within the code itself, signalling that the BACB now expects practitioners to approach ethical dilemmas through a deliberate, step-by-step framework. This bundle draws on contemporary behavior-analytic literature to provide an understanding of what ethical decision-making models are, where they come from, and how they function in practice. The articles collectively examine how formal decision-making frameworks are structured across disciplines, how behavior analysts currently navigate ethical dilemmas, how contextual and value-based variables shape the decisions practitioners make, and what the evidence says about the reliability of and practitioner preferences for formal decision-making models. The bundle also addresses how structured tools such as decision trees can be used to develop more consistent ethical decision-making repertoires in oneself and while teaching others. Together, the articles give practitioners the foundational knowledge needed to engage with ethical decision-making models more deliberately.
Learning Objectives
Upon Completing this bundle, participants will be able to:
1) Describe the distinction between guidance-based and compliance-based approaches to ethical practice in behavior analysis.
2)Identify common elements shared across ethical decision-making models in behavior analysis and related disciplines.
3) Describe how contextual variables and value-based considerations influence the ethical decisions behavior analysts make in practice.
4) Describe what the empirical literature indicates about how behavior analysts currently navigate ethical dilemmas, including their preferences for and use of formal decision-making models.
5) Identify structured approaches, including decision trees, that can be used to support more systematic ethical decision making in oneself and in the practitioners one supervises.
