A reason that behavior analysis is unique is that many behavior analysts work for state agencies or private consulting firms, often with little direct supervision in the field. Employers should provide proper oversight to the behavior analyst. However, it is often the behavior analyst who must individually be responsible for his or her own ethical conduct. This may be especially difficult when: - correct answer The employer may expect the behavior analyst to engage in unseemly or possibly unethical behavior, such as cutting corners to increase profits.

However, one must take care to avoid violation of ethical codes regarding conflicts of interest and ______ relationships. - correct answer Dual. Multiple.
