Abstract
As graduate student's racial/ethnic identities continue to diversify among individuals pursuing applied
behavior analysis, there is an increased risk for marginalization to occur during supervision. To promote
successful supervisor-supervisee relationships, supervising behavior analysts need to acquire culturally
responsive practices such as empathetic responding and partake in continuous education to shape their
supervising repertoire. This will expand their ability to provide quality support for supervisees belonging
to various identity groups. The teaching interaction procedure is a training tool that can be used to teach
culturally responsive practices to supervising behavior analysts. It is an evidenced- based tool that has
been used to teach social skills to children and adults. This training tool procedural components consist of
labeling the social skill, providing rationale for that social skill, describing the steps involved in the social
skill, modeling examples and non-examples of the social skill, and providing feedback throughout the
process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the teaching interaction procedure effectiveness as a
training tool to teach empathetic responding skills to three supervising behavior analysts within crossracial
dyads in a web-based training format. The results of a multiple-baseline design will show the
teaching interaction procedure was effective at training all 3 supervisors empathetic responding in a
contrived setting and suggests this had a positive impact on the perceived level of satisfaction among their
supervisees.
