Social Validity in the Late 20th and Early 21st Century
An extension of Kennedy’s work was published seven years later in 1999, by James Carr and colleagues. Their paper assessed the frequency of social-validity measures reported in the first 31 years of JABA. They analyzed the difference in trends of reporting social validity for experiments that had highly controlled analog settings versus more naturalistic and dynamic settings.

The Lift 002 | Collaborative Supervisory Relationships
This episode focuses on the fact that effective supervisory relationships are built on bi-directional collaborative efforts on the part of the supervisor and the supervisee. There are risks for supervisee, supervisor, clients, and the field as a whole if there is no collaborative effort and the two parties do not each feel respected, valued, and acknowledged. The podcast describes strategies for setting expectations for the relationship from the outset and for establishing collaborative goals for supervision. The importance of bi-directional feedback is explored and strategies for creating a committed and healthy learning context are reviewed.

AC4P with Dr. Scott Geller 014 | Personality, States vs. Traits Part 1
Often, as Behavioral Scientists, we focus mainly on Nurture, but it is important that we don't forget about Nature. There are many factors that go into creating who we are.
