Arranging assent opportunities is an increasingly common strategy for involving clients in therapeutic decisions within behavior analysis. Recent behavior-analytic articles have helped create a basic behavioral definition and conceptualization of assent, but much more guidance is needed for practitioners and researchers interested in embedding assent into their practices. The purpose of this article is to advance the conceptualization and understanding of assent and assent practices by refining previous definitions and conceptualizations of assent and providing six essential considerations for embedding assent into practice. The six considerations consist of determining the applicability and feasibility of assent, assessing assent-related skills, arranging assent procedures and teaching assent-related skills, arranging fair choices, selecting opportunities to assess assent, and informally assessing assent. Following the discussion of the considerations for assent practices, we issue a call for specific topics of research on assent.

进一步理解同意

安排同意机会是让客户参与行为分析中的治疗决策的越来越常见的策略。最近的行为分析文章帮助创建了同意的基本行为定义和概念化，但对于有兴趣将同意嵌入其实践的从业者和研究人员需要更多的指导。本文的目的是通过完善先前的同意定义和概念化，并提供将同意嵌入实践的六个基本考虑因素，来推进同意和同意实践的概念化和理解。这六个考虑因素包括确定同意的适用性和可行性、评估同意相关技能、安排同意程序和教授同意相关技能、安排公平选择、选择评估同意的机会以及非正式评估同意。在讨论同意实践的考虑因素之后，我们呼吁对同意的具体主题进行研究。
