Forseminar: Sosial validitet

Erik Arntzen

Norsk atferdsanalytisk forening

Sammendrag:

Sosial validitet er et sentralt begrep i atferdsanalyse og refererer til i hvilken grad mål, prosedyrer og resultater av en intervensjon er sosialt betydningsfulle og akseptable for dem som berøres. Begrepet understreker at effektiv atferdsendring ikke er tilstrekkelig dersom tiltaket ikke oppleves som relevant eller nyttig i praksis. Sosial validitet omfatter vanligvis tre dimensjoner: den sosiale betydningen av målene, akseptabiliteten av prosedyrene og viktigheten av de oppnådde resultatene. Ved å vektlegge sosial validitet sikres det at atferdsanalytiske intervensjoner får praktisk og etisk relevans. Dette bidrar til å styrke forbindelsen mellom eksperimentell forskning og anvendt praksis, samt fagets legitimitet i samfunnet.

Social Validity and Contemporary Behavior Analysis

Timothy Vollmer

University of Florida

Sammendrag:

Vollmer and Pendergrass (2025) recently provided commentary on the implications of social validity in contemporary applied behavior analysis. In the current presentation, Dr. Vollmer will extend this discussion by showing specific examples of challenging decisions related to social validation. Social validity (Wolf, 1978) refers to the extent to which goals, procedures, and outcomes are acceptable to consumers. Wolf’s seminal introduction to social validity remains crucial for present-day research and practice. However, it is difficult at times to ascertain who should be considered the consumer (e.g., Parent? Child? Teacher?), and to identify boundaries and guidelines for social validation. By way of medical analogy, a child may actively dissent receiving stitches as treatment for a severe wound, but a parent and physician agree there is medical necessity and that stitches are needed in the patient’s longer-term best interest. Similarly, behavior analysts face challenges with many goals (e.g., oral hygiene, self-feeding, bedtime management, classroom management) where a client may dissent, but others consent based on perception of the client’s longer-term best interest. Also, procedures (e.g., escape extinction) and outcomes (e.g., less than perfect behavior change) can be controversial and require special consideration when social validation is balanced. Examples from clinical cases and behavioral research will be described.

Social validity, local consensus, and proposed measurement strategies

Fredrik Andersen

Høgskolen I Østfold

Sammendrag:

Social validity and acceptability are commonly assessed through surveys and interviews with local stakeholders, with the aim of mapping attitudes toward ongoing or planned interventions. Typically, these assessments involve family members and professional staff. When such stakeholders express approval of an intervention, this is often taken to indicate the achievement of a form of local consensus or local approval.

However, there are well-recognized challenges in relying exclusively on local agreements as a basis for ethically relevant decisions. These challenges include limitations in ethical imagination, as well as the evolving and context-dependent nature of concepts such as right, wrong, and acceptable behavior.

In response, I propose a set of target behaviors that could be measured systematically. Measuring these behaviors may strengthen the ethical grounding and social validity of our interventions.
