“…The present analysis of the coauthorship interactions of dual authors who publish in both JABA and JEAB indicates that cross-field interaction has increased steadily over the last 30 years. This evidence supports the progressive development of a model of basic-applied interaction in which both sectors are becoming increasingly integrated (Bryan, 1972;Mace & Critchfield, 2010).…”

To study the influences between basic and applied research in behavior analysis, we analyzed the coauthorship interactions of authors who published in JABA and JEAB from 1980 to 2010. We paid particular attention to authors who published in both JABA and JEAB (dual authors) as potential agents of cross-field interactions. We present a comprehensive analysis of dual authors' coauthorship interactions using social networks methodology and key word analysis. The number of dual authors more than doubled (26 to 67) and their productivity tripled (7% to 26% of JABA and JEAB articles) between 1980 and 2010. Dual authors stood out in terms of number of collaborators, number of publications, and ability to interact with multiple groups within the field. The steady increase in JEAB and JABA interactions through coauthors and the increasing range of topics covered by dual authors provide a basis for optimism regarding the progressive integration of basic and applied behavior analysis.

“…To be sure, these two approaches are closely interrelated. In all fields, technology certainly draws upon the findings of basic science; and conversely, there are numerous instances in which technology has suggested hypotheses that proved fruitful in advancing basic research (Bryan, 1972;Garner, 1972;Thompson, 1969;Townes, 1968). Moreover, science and technology cannot be differentiated sharply, but lie along a continuum ranging from basic research, through applied research, to development, evaluation, system installation, and practice.…”

EENLY aware of the serious problems threatening the very existence of human civilization, psychologists have shown a growing concern with the contributions they can make to the solution of social problems. That psychologists in large numbers are in fact deeply concerned about such problems is evident in many ways. One need only look at any issue of the American Psychologist or at the annual convention program of the APA to find references to topics ranging from ecology to racism and sexism, or from the education of inner-city children to the prevention of wars between nations. Several discussions center around the more general question of the mechanisms whereby psychologists can make their most effective contributions, such as basic research, technology, or social action.Like the rest of humanity, psychologists display wide individual differences in both their professional and their personal orientations. This is not only an incontrovertible fact, but also, I maintain, a desirable condition. It is both unrealistic and presumptuous to expect representatives of a single psychological specialty, or members of a single discipline, or persons in a single category, however characterized, to possess the magic formula that will save humanity. I should now like to examine some implications of diversity-with regard to psychology in relation to other disciplines, as well as within psychology itself. MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO SOCIAL PROBLEMSCurrent social problems are complex and their solutions are not the exclusive province of any one field of expertise. Psychology has no monopoly on human behavior. Over the centuries, many other
