1. Analytic

   • Demonstrating a functional relationship between behavior and environmental events
   • Experimental control
   • Believable demonstrations of the events responsible for behavior change

2. Effective

   • interventions are cost effective
   • procedures bring about behavior change efficiently
   • treatment effects that result in a clinically significant change in an important dimension of Bx
   • procedures that produce practical and significant changes in bx.

3. Conceptually systematic

   • procedures are described in terms of basic principles.
     • extinction

4. Applied

   • a focus on behaviors that are important to both the individual and society

5. behavioral

   • defining the problem in terms of the behaviors that need to be changed
   • means focusing on behaviors as the basis of intervention and target for change
   • requires studying what people do

6. Effective

   • Treatment effects that result in a clinically significant change in an important dimension of bx.
   • intervention packages that are cost effective
   • procedures that bring about behavior change efficiently
   • procedures that produce practical and significant changes in bx.

7. Technological

   • Specific and detailed descriptions of the procedures
   • a complete and thorough description of the procedures
   • procedures that are comprehensive enough that a trained reader could replicate them
