In this episode of the Atypical Behavior Analyst, we venture inwards to discuss self-awareness. We begin by stating what it is and reviewing the potential benefits to the service provider, clients, and their stakeholders. We then provide you with information on how to increase self-awareness, to include how that can be done in a behavior analytic manner.

In an effort to fine-tune the work that we do as behavior analysts, improving our abilities to help our clients and their stakeholders, we explore self-awareness – what it is, its benefits, the disadvantages associated with limited self-awareness, and how to increase it.

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe various definitions of self-awareness and their critical components

2. Provide benefits of increasing both internal and external self-awareness and disadvantages of limited self-awareness in our professional and personal lives

3. Evaluate the benefits of teaching self-awareness to others, including supervisees, stakeholders, and clients

4. Describe how to work on and increase your self-awareness

5. State the similarities between assessing client behavior and working on self-awareness

Take Aways- your bite-sized educational noms

- Self-awareness can be described in a variety of ways. Broken down behaviorally, self-awareness is the behavior of responding to certain variables in the environment with the outcome being a change in behavior.

- You can use self-monitoring as a technique to improve your own self-awareness. Provide a place for others to give feedback, ask questions and seek out information.

- Behavior analytic breakdown: critical variable/event occurs- quickly review the context of the behavior and environment- respond in a more preventative way.

- Questions to further self-awareness should include more “what” questions instead of “why”. “What” furthers changes in behaviors instead of ruminating on past events.
