Award for Effective Presentation of Behavior Analysis in the Mass Media



Amos Rolider, a professor at Emek Yezreel College in Israel will be receiving the 2009 SABA award for effective presentation. As my favorite interest is disseminating behavior analysis, the career of Dr. Rolider is of interest to me. He’s been teaching, researching, and practicing for over 30 years in north America and Israel. His main focuses tend to surround anti-social behaviors of children in home and typical school settings. It was through this work, and guest appearances in televeision and radio that allowed Dr. Rolider to begin a weekly live television program that is currently gaining popularity. This television show called “Parenting 101” has become very popular, in large part because of Dr. Rolider’s ability to take his mastery of behavior analysis and communicate it into user-friendly conversational style approach. This talk should be a fantastic introduction on how to disseminate properly. So often, behavior analysts become mired in our own technical jargon without realizing that we must ‘translate’ to those we are attempting to serve.

As a result of this lack of acceptance, the field of behavior analysis, so far, has not been able to penetrate the walls of the general education system. Thus, millions of children, educators, and parents still only rarely take advantage of its scientifically well-documented effectiveness…
