Pay disparities have numerous adverse effects upon organizations, employees, and clients, which can affect the organization's ability to deliver services, including culturally responsive services. Evidence is accumulating that pay inequity, particularly among females and males, is present within the field of behavior analysis (Li et al., 2018; Vance & Saini, 2022). The purpose of the present study was to examine the annual income of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) and doctoral-level BCBAs (BCBA-Ds) who work with children, with a particular focus on the impact that salary practices have on the provision of services to this age group. A survey was distributed to collect information regarding annual income, demographics, and various aspects of service delivery. The sample included 236 (96.7%) BCBAs and eight (3.3%) BCBA-Ds who had been in the field an average of 11.3 years (N = 244). Annual income for female BCBAs and male BCBAs was $74,888 and $79,140, respectively. For those who served children and adolescents, female respondents earn an annual average of $75,840, while male respondents earn an average of $74, 673. The annual incomes of female BCBAs that served urban, rural, and combined rural and urban regions were $76,931, $69,198, and $77,199, respectively. The observed differences between service regions were statistically significant, whereas the difference observed between females and males was not. Considering this, females made less than male counterparts in nearly every comparison, which is alarming. The present study adds to the growing list of observations indicating that a change in salary practices is needed to improve behavior-analytic service delivery to clients.

薪酬差异对组织、员工和客户有许多不利影响，这会影响组织提供服务的能力，包括文化响应服务。越来越多的证据表明，行为分析领域存在薪酬不平等，尤其是男女之间的不平等（Li 等人，2018 年；Vance 和 Saini，2022 年）。本研究的目的是检查与儿童一起工作的委员会认证行为分析师 (BCBA) 和博士级 BCBA (BCBA-D) 的年收入，特别关注薪资实践对提供儿童的影响为这个年龄段的人服务。分发了一项调查，以收集有关年收入、人口统计和服务提供的各个方面的信息。样本包括 236 个 (96.7%) BCBA 和八个 (3.N  = 244）。女性 BCBA 和男性 BCBA 的年收入分别为 74,888 美元和 79,140 美元。对于那些为儿童和青少年服务的人，女性受访者的年平均收入为 75,840 美元，而男性受访者的平均收入为 74, 673 美元。服务于城市、农村和农村和城市地区的女性 BCBA 的年收入分别为 76,931 美元和 69,198 美元, 和 77,199 美元。服务区域之间观察到的差异具有统计学意义，而女性和男性之间观察到的差异则不显着。考虑到这一点，几乎在所有比较中，女性的收入都低于男性，这令人担忧。本研究增加了越来越多的观察结果，表明需要改变薪资做法以改善对客户的行为分析服务交付。
