Abstract | The primary purpose of this paper is to discuss reasons why blacks should be concerned and actively involved with practices in behavior modification. The concern is that as these techniques are refined it becomes more important to be sure blacks should be involved at all levels of the application of these procedures when other blacks are subjects of the practice. A review of the literature illustrated that (1) blacks are prime subjects for behavior modification, and (2) the application of behavior modification requires the practitioners to make judgments concerning social values. The Tuskegee Study illustrates how blacks were used as subjects in a behavior modification study before these practices became popularized. There is every reason to suspect that studies, hopefully not of this severe nature, are being conducted today without the subjects' knowledge of the intentions of the study or the side effects which might occur as a result of participation. Today, behavior modifiers attempt to prove their worth by working with those populations of people who are considered problems and with whom other practices have filed. Blacks are often considered "hard to reach" in disproportionate numbers. Alternatives are offered for increasing the numbers of professional blacks in the field of behavior modification to help preserve the integrity of the black community. (Author/JM) |
