| Abstract: Applied behavioral research discipline is defined in part by the population it studies, the settings that population is studied in, and the behaviors that are targeted for intervention. Thus, it is important for applied behavior analysts to understand the who, what, and where of our research. The authors reviewed two years of JABA articles and ABA conference proceedings to identify participant characteristics, research settings, and dependant variables. This paper briefly discusses the findings of this analysis and its implications for the advancement of the discipline of behavior analysis. |

| Abstract: We analyzed the empirical literature on ethnic minority sutdents published in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis. Specifically, we examined (1) to what extent does research focused on identifiable ethnic/racial culture groups and linguistically diverse students, (2) Given that researchers focused on culture and linguistically diverse issues, to what extent do they disaggregate the data and report on individual ethnic groups in their results, and (3) to what extent has there been a change in reporting culture and linguistic diversity in the last ten years? |
