PARTICIPATION BY WOMEN IN BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS .2. 1992

Participation by women and men in (a) the editorial process and public ation of three behavior analysis journals, (b) leadership in the Assoc iation for Behavior Analysis (ABA) and the Society for the Experimenta l Analysis of Behavior, and (c) participation in the 1982 and 1991 con ventions of the Association for Behavior Analysis are described. The d ata indicate that the relative involvement of women in all three areas is lower than the percentage of ABA members who are women (31%) and i s considerably lower than the percentage of women in society at large (51%). This underrepresentation of women in editorial and leadership r oles in behavior analysis mirrors the reported phenomenon of a glass c eiling for women in leadership roles in business and industry. The men who control our institutions are asked to share power and responsibil ity by increasing the involvement of women in behavior analysis.
