Applied behavior analysis research frequently cites foundational behavioral science literature. However, this field

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Science
  • Psychology
  • Applied Behavior Analysis

Background:

  • Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a scientific discipline focused on understanding and improving behavior.
  • The relationship between basic behavioral research and applied fields is crucial for scientific advancement.
  • Scholarly influence and citation patterns are key indicators of a field's impact and integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze citation patterns in scholarly literature to assess the influence of applied behavior analysis research.
  • To determine the extent to which ABA research references foundational behavioral science literature.
  • To evaluate the breadth of scholarly impact exerted by applied behavior analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic analysis of scholarly citations within behavioral journals.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Examination of reference lists to identify links between applied behavior analysis and basic behavioral literature.
  • Quantification of citation frequencies and patterns.

    • Main Results:

    • Applied behavior analysis research demonstrates a strong tendency to cite basic behavioral science literature.
    • The analysis indicates that applied behavior analysis exerts a relatively narrow scholarly influence.
    • Citation data supports the hypothesis of limited broader impact despite referencing foundational work.

    Conclusions:

    • Applied behavior analysis is well-integrated with its foundational basic science literature.
    • The findings suggest a need to explore strategies for broadening the scholarly influence of ABA.
    • Further research could investigate the mechanisms behind the observed narrow scholarly impact.
