Targeted Topics in ApplieD Behavior Analysis

Setting the Scene:
You are a Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) who works for Applied Behavior
Associates, a community mental health agency. A group home provider serving adolescent foster
children, ages 13–17, has submitted a referral to your agency for staff training in “behavior
control procedures.” You have been assigned to provide training in basic principles of positive
behavior intervention for the home. The home previously contracted with a non-credentialed
“behavior specialist” who wrote behavior guidelines for the staff to follow. These guidelines
included such recommendations as, “Whenever you notice a resident becoming aggressive, tell
him to go to the quiet area. If he refuses, implement the two-person transportation procedure to
move him to the quiet area. Prevent the resident from leaving the quiet area until he is calm.

After the resident has met criteria to leave the quiet area, remove all privileges for the rest of the
day.” These procedures have failed miserably, and you are being asked to provide some
guidance.
Discussion:
Discuss the three-term contingency (antecedent, behavior, and consequence) and its relevance
to understanding why behaviors occur. What information pertaining to the three-term contingency
needs to be considered in the current scenario?
Discuss the components necessary for an operational definition of a target behavior. Provide an
operational definition of the target behavior labeled “aggression” in the scenario that could be
used to provide more clarity.
Discuss one of the seven dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis outlined by Baer, Wolf, and
Risley (found in Applied Behavior Analysis, Chapter 1, and beginning on page 16) and describe
how the dimension can be applied when considering interventions in the current scenario.

Intergenerational Transfer of Cultural Norms and Values

US Society in Global Perspective

Topic: intergenerational transfer of cultural norms and values: interview exercise and paper

The goal of this assignment is to learn more about how cultural norms and values are negotiated in new contexts. You will interview someone you know (e.g., a childhood friend, a professor, another AU student, etc.) and speak with that person about how cultural norms and values are negotiated in their family. This could be someone who came to the U.S. as a young child, or who was born in the U.S. but whose family members are immigrants; or it may be someone whose family members grew up in a rural part of the United States and who now lives in a major city (or vice versa). Your task is to conduct the interview, describe the intergenerational transfer of culture, examine how culture is negotiated and changed in the context of the family, and well as reflect on what you discovered.”

When you interview someone. Questions you could ask include:

  1. What is your cultural background?
  2. Tell me your story when it comes to your upbringing – the household in which you were raised.
  3. How did your family celebrate or recognize your cultural heritage?
  4. What norms or values did your family hold that were different from larger society’s, if any?
  5. How did your family adapt or not as far as your family’s culture vs. the society in which you were raised?
  6. (If applicable) How did your parent(s) maintain a sense of connection with the family’s cultural heritage, e.g., language, holidays, belief system practices, if at all?
