General CEU: Women in Behavior Analysis: Past, Present and Future Trends

Women in Behavior Analysis: Past, Present and Future Trends matters because it changes what a BCBA notices when decisions have to hold up in supervision meetings, staff training, clinic systems, and performance review. In Past, Present and Future Trends, for this course, the practical stakes show up in better performance, lower drift, and more sustainable team development, not in abstract discussion alone.

Course Description

Women continue to be underrepresented in the highest positions in behavior analysis and related fields (e.g., editorial boards and single author works; Li et al., 2018). Thus, it is possible that a glass ceiling continues to limit women's representation in several notable positions (McSweeney et al., 2000) despite decades of advancements in this area (e.g., women as firstauthor publishers). Previous research has evaluated women's representation in positions such as first or- single-author roles, professional recognition ceremonies, and invited-speaker engagements. Overall, research outcomes have shown positive trends in women's representation in some, but not all positions. Our paper will present past, present, and future trends of women's representation in leadership positions in behavior analysis as indicated by research outcomes and feature discussion from Dr. Melissa Nosik.

What You'll Learn

  1. Identify historical trends in women's representation across leadership positions in behavior analysis.
  2. Describe the current state of women's representation in editorial boards, authorship, and professional recognition.
  3. Analyze the implications of gender representation trends for the future of the behavior analysis profession.
