BCBAs may encounter situations, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, that preclude them from providing traditional in-person ABA services to clients. When conditions prevent BCBAs and behavior technicians from working directly with clients, digital instructional activities designed by BCBAs and delivered via a computer or tablet may be a viable substitute. Google applications, including Google Slides, Google Forms, and Google Classroom, can be particularly useful for creating and sharing digital instructional activities. In the current paper, we provide task analyses for utilizing basic Google Slides functions, developing independent instructional activities, developing caregiver-supported instructional activities, and sharing activities with clients and caregivers. We also provide practical recommendations for implementing digital instructional activities with clients and caregivers.

The scientific method has been used to eradicate polio, send humans to the moon, and enrich understanding of human cognition and behavior. It produced these accomplishments not through magic or appeals to authority, but through open, detailed, and reproducible methods. To call something “science” means there are clear ways to independently and empirically evaluate research claims. There is no need to simply trust an information source. Scientific values thus prioritize transparency and universalism, emphasizing that it matters less who has made a discovery than how it was done. Yet, scientific reward systems are based on identifying individual eminence. The current paper contrasts this focus on individual eminence with reforms to scientific rewards systems that help these systems better align with scientific values.

Practical Recommendations

Adolescents commonly make new social connections online that sometimes result in face-to-face meetings. Despite potential benefits, risk-focused discourse dominates public debates and shapes information shared by sources important for adolescents—news media, preventive programs, peers, parents, and teachers. Our study examines how information about face-to-face meetings from these sources relates to adolescents’ risk perception and engagement in such meetings. Using a sample of 707 Czech adolescents (aged 11–16 years, 46% male), we analyzed these effects for male and female adolescents to reflect the gendered nature of the risk-focused discourse. Male adolescents’ risk perception was not affected by information from any source. Female adolescents’ risk perception was negatively affected by information peers with prior experience with face-to-face meetings but not by other information sources. Female adolescents also perceived face-to-face meetings as riskier in general. We discuss gender differences and the limited impact of information sources on risk perception and provide practical recommendations.

В статье исследуется соотношение трёх главных человеческих ценностей – истины, добра и кра­соты. Критический анализ известных философских положений проводится с использованием результатов, полученных в современных экспериментальных исследованиях. В частности, обсуждается противоречие между требованием о приоритете истины перед добром в ситуации конфликта между этими ценностями и воздействием позитивных иллюзий, выявленных современной нейронаукой и свойственных функцио­ни­ро­ванию человеческого мозга. Так, широко распространен эффект «ложной уникальности», при котором че­ловек переоценивает собственные (точнее, высоко желаемые) позитивные качества и недооценивает нега­тивные. Массовая приверженность индивидов заблуждениям относительно величины своего внутреннего по­тенциала, наличия глубоко скрытых ресурсов в сочетании со стремлением поддержать высокую само­оцен­ку ведут к искажению проводимых социальных сравнений. Автор доказывает, что придание добру боль­шей значимости в сравнении с истиной неминуемо ведёт к последующей победе зла над добром. По­добное происходит в связи с большей доступностью и привлекательностью «неистинного» добра перед «ис­тинным». Главное преимущество опоры на истину заключается в её умении распознавать и отделять дол­го­вре­менные разновидности добра от его краткосрочных (как правило, гедонистически ориен­ти­ро­ванных) вариантов, нередко оборачивающихся злом в более отдалённой перспективе. Настоящее (истин­ное) добро, как правило, требует приложения первоначальных усилий, однако приносит пользу в течение длительного времени и оборачивается другими полезными эффектами. В конце статьи приводятся практические рекомендации, а также личный опыт автора, позволяющие информированному индивиду организовать собственное мышление и поведение с учётом выявленных закономерностей.     The article investigates the ratio between the main three human values – the truth, the good and the beauty. The analysis of the well-known philosophical postulates is conducted with the help of the results obtained in modern experimental researches. In particular, the author discusses the contradiction between the demand of the truth priority if the latter gets in conflict with the good, and the influence of the positive illusions, discovered by modern neuroscience and peculiar to human brain functioning. Thus the wide-spread effect of false uniqueness makes a person to overestimate her own (in fact highly wished) positive traits of character and underestimate negative ones. Mass proneness to the beliefs about individual inner potential and deeply seated resources combined with the desire of high self-esteem lead to the wrong social comparisons. The author of the paper proves that the priority of the good in comparison with the truth inevitably causes the situation, in which the evil defeats the good. This occurs because the untrue good is more easily achieved and utilized than the true good. On the contrary, the main advantage of the priority of the truth is the ability to discern and make distinctions between long-term forms of the good and its short-term (as a rule, hedonistically oriented) variants, which often turn to evil in the future perspective. As a rule, the genuine (true) good demands some efforts from an individual at first, but brings benefits and numerous useful effects for much longer periods of time. At the end of the paper, the author gives practical recommendations and shares his personal experience, which can help the informed individual to organize his own thinking and behavior with the help of the discovered regularities.

Oriented Approach

The article is devoted to the substantiation and development of theoretical and methodological provisions and practical recommendations for improving marketing activities by introducing a customer-oriented approach at enterprises. The necessity and expediency of combining the provisions of other marketing concepts within the framework of the concept of "Customer-oriented marketing" has been proved. The author's definition of the concepts of "customer focus" and "customer oriented marketing" is formulated. It has been substantiated that customer focus is a strategy (approach), a tool (method) of management, a characteristic (result of activity). A matrix of correspondence between the methodological approaches of "customer-oriented marketing" and the components of the marketing complex has been developed. It has been proved that customer-oriented marketing involves changing the organizational structure of marketing management, approaches to strategic planning and methodological tools of marketing activities. It is argued that the toolkit of customer-oriented marketing should be based on a combination of principles and approaches, combined from the position of maximizing consumer value, using the toolkit of cognitive psychology. The types of loyalty are distinguished depending on the perception and behavior of consumers. When shaping marketing activities based on a customer-oriented approach, it is proposed to use the following tools: internal marketing, intramarketing, service standardization, kaizen, relationship marketing, point of contact management, service design. The elements of the internal marketing system have been structured, reflecting the various directions to which the activity of the enterprise should be directed.

The current paper reports the results of sociolinguistic experiment that aimed to determine the language patterns of expressing gender auto- and heterostereotypes about female and male appearance. The data were obtained from questionnaires performed by 60 subjects (30 males and 30 females). Semantic and statistic analyses were used to process the subjects’ reactions. The obtained reactions were grouped in accordance with common semantic features, and it resulted in developing the field models of stereotypes structure with the core, middle zone and periphery. The study showed a considerable similarity of the total number of semantic features in the core zones for men and women. The middle zone (with the common features of “slim”, “height” and “behavior”) and the periphery (with no common features found) demonstrated rather differences than similarity that indicated incomplete stereotypization of the features. As expected, autostereotypes contained less negative features than heterostereotypes.

The purpose of the article is to establish the essence and content of the legal regulation of the security and defense sector of Ukraine, and the tasks include: interpretation of such categories as "legal regulation", "security and defense sector of Ukraine"; establishment of the normative-legal basis for the functioning of the relevant institution, which will enable and objectify the establishment of the content of the relevant concept; defining the essence and content of the security and defense sector of Ukraine, which will further form practical recommendations for optimizing the industry. In the article the author carried out a comprehensive multicomponent study of the concept of legal regulation of the security and defense sector, clarified its essence for the content. Some reference and other scientific sources that define the concept and essence of such terms as "legal regulation", "security and defense sector" are considered. It is concluded that the legal regulation of the security and defense sector is a range of state-regulated legal acts that establish the foundations of the functioning of entities implementing measures to ensure national and military security, as well as personal security of citizens, public order. It is argued that today, in the conditions of armed aggression of the Russian Federation, the most urgent issue is to establish effective cooperation of all entities with powers and responsibilities in the security and defense sector of Ukraine, because of the effectiveness of their interaction, the implementation of the most complex socio-political and economic stability of society depends on the tasks with the lowest labor costs and in the shortest possible time. Scientists also point out that the most important thing is to create such conditions that will effectively prevent a military attack and organize a political (diplomatic), economic, armed repulse of possible aggression against Ukraine at any time and under any circumstances. The results have been achieved and the position has been formed that the legal regulation of the security and defense sector takes place in the following way: consolidation and protection of new social relations; prohibition of certain social relations and behavior; changes in the nature of relations in a particular area. The necessity of further research in the relevant direction and the importance of an expanded interpretation of the legal framework for the security and defense sector of Ukraine are argued.

Several recent studies have examined the prevention, causes, and consequences of insufficient effort responding (IER) to surveys. Scientific progress in this area, however, rests on the availability of construct-valid IER measures. In the current paper we describe the potential merits of the page time index, which is computed by counting the number of questionnaire pages to which a participant has responded more quickly than two seconds per item (see Huang et al., 2012 ). We conducted three studies (total N = 1,056) to examine the page time index's construct validity. Across these studies, we found that page time converged highly with other IER indices, that it was sensitive to an experimental manipulation warning participants to respond carefully, and that it predicted the extent to which participants were unable to recognize item content. We also found that page time's validity was superior to that of total completion time and that the two-seconds-per-item rule yielded a construct-valid page time score for items of various word lengths. Given its apparent validity, we provide practical recommendations for the use of the page time index.

AbstractThe target article by Boyer & Petersen (B&P) contributes a vital message: that people have folk economic theories that shape their thoughts and behavior in the marketplace. This message is all the more important because, in the history of economic thought, Homo economicus was increasingly stripped of mental capacities. Intuitive theories can help restore the mind of Homo economicus.
