"For example, if one is developing a measure of generalized anxiety symptoms a very high correlation between your samples responses on this measure and say a measure of psychosis symptoms would suggest that your measure of generalized anxiety symptoms cannot discriminate between ‘psychosis’ and ‘generalized anxiety.’ Construct validity, oh such a dirty word for behavior analysts… is understood in psychology as a measure demonstrating both adequate convergence with expected measures and adequate divergence discrimination from measures that would not be expected to be highly related." https://behavior-behavior.org/multi-trait-multi-method-assessment/

As a part of our "Getting into CBA" series, we're sharing some of the tools we use in our clinical CBA practice at Better Living Center for Behavioral Health.

Below you can see a video of John Wesenberg, BCBA, our Director of Operations, using a prompt to guide the functional assessment of anxiety in our care.

Notice how reported 'internal' experiences just become a part of the functional analysis that add to observational data. Often its the juxtaposition of what the client reports against what we observe that helps us determine whether 'direct' contingencies or rule-governed relating may be a stronger starting point for treatment.
