Discussion 1 for ethics class

Discussion Forum #1 Directions (SCROLL DOWN FOR GENERAL DISCUSSION GUIDELINES)

Assigned Readings:

Jaramillo, C., & Nohelty, K. (2021). Guidance for Behavior Analysts in Addressing Racial Implicit Bias. Behavior Analysis in Practice.

Activity:

Complete the I for at least two social groups.

SATURDAY NIGHT BEFORE MIDNIGHT: After reading the above assigned reading and completing the IAT for at least two social groups, write your initial discussion post, in which you should address the following:

1. (1) First, describe what you learned about yourself and any implicit biases you have through completing the IAT. You do not need to share which social groups you selected; rather, describe what you learned about yourself and implicit bias as a whole. (2) Next, propose possible behaviors you could measure that would indicate the presence of those biases in the natural environment. Consider, the section within your assigned reading on “Measurable Behaviors.” (3) Next, explain possible interventions or strategies you will attempt in response to your behaviors demonstrating possible implicit bias. (4) Lastly, tie this to the Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts.
2. Make sure to include in-text citations with page numbers (see examples below). I recommend citing the assigned article and Ethics Code.
3. Length of response is not as important as the content; aim for a complete but concise post.

SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE MIDNIGHT: Review classmates’ posts and respond to two classmates that have not yet received a response.

• You are encouraged to make connections with the classmate in the post and affirm your classmate’s response or respectfully provide additional information on a different perspective. Please be sure to mention course-specific content in your response. Your response should add a layer of depth to the conversation, not serve primarily as behavior-specific feedback.
• Make sure to include in-text citations with page numbers that direct the reader to the locations in the article that prompted your responses (see examples below).

GENERAL DISCUSSION GUIDELINES

Discussion posts (initial posts and responses to classmates) should be written professionally. Make connections to the weeks assigned readings with in-text citations that include page numbers, even if you are not providing a direct quotethis will help the readers locate the sources that inspired your responses. (Note: In APA-style papers, you are only required to provide page numbers with quotations.) In-text citations should follow one of these formats:

• As a parenthetical expression: …….(Cook et al., 2019, p. 23).
• As part of the narrative: As Cook et al. (2019) noted, “…………” (p. 23).

For these forums, if you refer only to the directed articles for the discussion, you do not need to include a reference section.
