The current presentation will discuss results of a survey completed by individuals (N = 265) of different genders working in the field of behavior analysis that inquired about their participation in academia, research (i.e., publications and presentations), and employment, as well as their salaries. Results will highlight how social identities and factors (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, family practices, etc.) can impact participation and compensation in behavior-analytic practice, research, and academics.
