Langthorne, Paul, McGill, Peter (2011) Assessing the social acceptability of the functional analysis of problem behaviour. Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 44 (2). pp. 403-407. ISSN 0021-8855. (doi:10.1901/jaba.2011.44-403) (KAR id:34424)

Abstract

Although the clinical utility of the functional analysis is well established, its social acceptability has received minimal attention. The current study assessed the social acceptability of functional analysis procedures among 10 parents and 3 teachers of children who had recently received functional analyses. Participants completed a 9-item questionnaire, and results suggested that functional analysis procedures were socially acceptable.
