“…Many of us have purchased nonfiction and fiction books written by BIPOC authors and could track minutes spent reading each weeknight and the number of concrete actions (e.g., researching, following, and financially supporting prison abolitionist organizations after reading a book on the topic of racism and the prison industrial complex) that we take based on our increased knowledge. Graphical representations (e.g., line graphs, histograms, daily bubbles to fill in on a bullet journal) of our goal progress can provide needed self-reinforcement (e.g., McDougall, 2012 ).…”

One pervasive social issue that has received little attention within the behavior-analytic community is racism and the systemic oppression of Black, Indigenous, and non-Black people of color. The present article offers guidance and examples of how each of us as behavior analysts might build individualized self-management behavior change plans that support initiating and sustaining socially significant antiracism work as we move from allies to accomplices within our own sphere of influence. This article introduces the concept of self-managed antiracism behavior change plans that (a) operationally define antiracist action using measurable outcomes and strategies for data collection on specific antiracist and support actions, (b) provide choices to improve engagement and reduce barriers to adherence, and (c) use effective behavioral interventions to alter the availability of discriminative stimuli or reduce their influence, and increase the availability of reinforcers that are compatible with the goal of the behavior change plan for increasing antiracism behavior and dismantling structures perpetuating racial inequities.

One pervasive social issue that has received little attention within the behavior analytic community is racism and the systemic oppression of Black, Indigenous, and non-Black People of Color (BIPOC). The present paper offers guidance and examples of how each of us as behavior analysts might build individualized self-management behavior change plans that support initiation and sustained socially significant anti-racism work as we move from allies to accomplices within our own sphere of influence. This paper introduces the concept of self-managed anti-racism behavior change plans that (a) operationally define anti-racist action, use measurable outcomes and strategies for data collection on specific anti-racist and support actions; (b) provide choices to improve engagement and reduce barriers to adherence; and (c) use effective behavioral interventions to alter the availability of discriminative stimuli or reduce their influence, and increase the availability of reinforcers that are compatible with the goal of the behavior change plan for increasing anti-racism behavior and dismantling structures perpetuating racial inequities.

“…In terms of statistical alternatives, Bayesian analysis has recently illustrated by Aerts (2015) for a CCD, but its use is limited to estimating intercepts and slopes and does not deal with all data features mentioned in the previous paragraph, which are also the typical ones on which visual analysis focuses (McDougall, 2013).…”

“…We integrated the pieces of evidence on experimental control with the work of McDougall et al (2006) and translated them into an objective definition of the acceptable range of behavior under the different criterion levels. Using an acceptable range would be a step forward in overcoming the insufficient reporting present when using visual analysis (Ledford et al, 2018) and it is wellaligned with McDougall's (2013) aim to make evaluating intervention efficacy easier.…”

Changing criterion designs (CCD) are single-case experimental designs that entail a step-by-step approximation to the final level desired for a target behavior. Following a recent review on the desirable methodological features of CCDs, the current text focuses on an analytical challenge: the definition of an objective rule for assessing the correspondence between criterion levels and behavior. We review extensively applied research and methodological recommendations for establishing experimental control, such as the range-bound CCD, and integrate them in a proposal for a formal expression of an objective rule. We illustrate how this proposal can lead to establishing the acceptable level of behavior prior to gathering the intervention phase data and how it leaves space for professional judgement. A discussion of software implementing the suggested proposal is included.
