Abstract

ABSTRACT In behavior analytic research, procedural integrity refers to the extent to which the independent variable is implemented as described. Collecting and reporting data on procedural integrity are important for assessing the internal validity of a study; it assists in verifying that the independent variable, and not an extraneous variable, is responsible for intervention effects. Previous research suggests that data on procedural integrity are infrequently reported in behavior analytic studies. In organizational behavior management in particular, no recent evaluation of the reporting of data on procedural integrity exists. In the current study, we examined all empirical articles published in the Journal of Organizational Behavior Management (JOBM) from 2000 to 2020 to examine reporting of data on procedural integrity. We found that only 23.7% of studies reported these data. Furthermore, we found that 43.8% of studies appear to be at high risk, meaning they included multiple person-implemented intervention components and no measure of procedural integrity. We conclude by offering some possible reasons as to why the number of JOBM studies reporting these data is so low and by suggesting some ways to increase the collection and reporting of procedural integrity data.

组织行为管理杂志中的程序完整性报告(2000-2020)

在行为分析研究中，程序完整性是指自变量按照描述实现的程度。收集和报告有关程序完整性的数据对于评估一项研究的内部有效性很重要;它有助于验证自变量，而不是外来变量，对干预效果负责。先前的研究表明，在行为分析研究中，程序完整性的数据很少被报道。特别是在组织行为管理方面，最近没有对程序完整性数据报告的评价。在本研究中，我们检查了2000年至2020年发表在《组织行为管理杂志》(JOBM)上的所有实证文章，以检查程序完整性数据的报告。我们发现只有23.7%的研究报告了这些数据。此外，我们发现43.8%的研究似乎是高风险的，这意味着它们包括多人实施的干预成分，没有测量程序的完整性。最后，我们提供了一些可能的原因来解释为什么报告这些数据的JOBM研究数量如此之少，并提出了一些方法来增加程序完整性数据的收集和报告。
