Document Summary
A subjective assessment reflects personal values or perspectives. What is the difference between an objective and subjective assessment? that i can tell when a person is lying. An objective assessment is when there is documentable evidence. For example, a roommate borrows a friend"s car to go to the grocery store but the car"s odometer reveals that he actually travelled 50 miles instead of 3 to the nearest supermarket. The odometer is objective evidence of the distance travelled: target behavior is the dependent variable, although it is possible to use statistical procedures to check for statistically significant. Step 3: measure a behavior: three ways to measure a behavior, frequency, duration or length of time, magnitude or intensity. In some instances, clients can keep logs or self-report on the occurrence of the target behavior. In other situations, someone else will need to monitor the behavior. These decisions are individually determined by the practitioner from knowledge of the client"s abilities and situation.
