Wayne Fuqua – Evolution and promotion of ethical and moral behavior: A behavior analytic perspective

1.5 Type II CE Credits/ 1.5 Ethics Credits

This presentation was filmed at the 2015 CCBS Ethics in Professional Practice Conference.

About the presentation:

Behavior Analysis has contributed greatly to the development of evidence-based interventions. However, the implications of behavior analytic principles and concepts are not limited to the development of treatment techniques but also apply to the full range of human endeavors including the development of codes of conduct and the promotion of ethical and moral behavior. This presentation will provide a behavior analytic perspective on the evolution of ethical and moral codes of conduct and the promotion of ethical and moral behavior. In addition, this presentation will describe strategies for disseminating ethics throughout a professional organization.

Upon completion of this workshop attendees will be able to:

• Explain the role of variation and natural selection in the development of cultural practices and values.

• Identify the role of behavior analysis/learning concepts in the acquisition and promotion of ethical behavior:

• Offer several practical strategies to promote ethical behavior in a work or clinic setting.
