摘要

本研究的目的是确定在狼群保护区，未经训练的游客是否可以使用智能手机上免费提供的工具收集行为数据，且观察者之间的一致性（IOA）在可接受的范围内。两组独立的未经培训的游客只连续记录一个目标行为或同时记录两个目标行为。观察是在 50 分钟的多狼教育演示过程中进行的。虽然所有参与者的 IOA 均达到或超过 80%，但同时观察两个目标行为的一些参与者的 kappa 却低于 0.6 或更高的可接受范围。

Interobserver Agreement among a Staff Member and Visitors at a Wolf Sanctuary

The purpose of this study was to determine whether untrained visitors at a wolf sanctuary could collect behavioral data, within an acceptable range of interobserver agreement (IOA), using a freely available instrument on their smartphones. Two independent groups of untrained visitors continuously recorded one target behavior only or two target behaviors simultaneously. Observations occurred during a 50-min educational presentation with multiple wolves. Whereas IOA was at or above 80% for all participants, kappa was below the acceptable range of 0.6 or greater for some participants observing two target behaviors simultaneously.

• Clinicians may consider the use of untrained observers for limited data collection purposes

• Simple recording rules or pictures of conspicuous target behaviors may facilitate acceptable interobserver agreement

• Clinicians may consider the use of a similar smartphone data collection instrument for untrained observers

• Clinicians should be cautious of any competing smartphone behaviors that may interfere with the behavior of observing a target

期刊介绍： Behavior Analysis in Practice, an official journal of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, is a peer-reviewed translational publication designed to provide science-based, best-practice information relevant to service delivery in behavior analysis. The target audience includes front-line service workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school personnel. The mission of Behavior Analysis in Practice is to promote empirically validated best practices in an accessible format that describes not only what works, but also the challenges of implementation in practical settings. Types of articles and topics published include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis; tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior analysis.
