Document Summary
The process of recording a target behavior alone can manipulate how a person will express the behavior towards what is more socially acceptable. To reduce: one can wait until the person being observed becomes accustomed to the presence of the observer. Once can also attempt to record the subject"s behavior without he/she knowing through participant observer or observation windows. Sometimes reactivity can actually be bene cial by nudging a behavior to be expressed in the more socially acceptable direction. However, reactivity alone is not a treatment, nor is it always wanted during behavioral assessments. The percent of agreement between two or more observers. Can help determine the validity of the results of a behavioral assessment. Used to compare behavior before, during, and after treatment.
