Abstract

We examined the zoographics, or the characteristics of nonhuman animal subjects, reported for the entirety of the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior (JEAB) through the most recent complete year (1958-2023). Animal sex in particular was evaluated to determine whether the lack of inclusion of female subjects in other disciplines extends to JEAB. Through systematic coding of all nonhuman empirical articles, we found consistent underreporting of most zoographics and a disproportionate use of male subjects relative to female subjects. Additionally, animal sex was commonly unreported and the inclusion of both male and female subjects was sparse. Recent years show some improvement, but greater inclusion is required. Lack of female subjects in research as well as underreporting of zoographics can generate unrepresentative results and hamper replication, generalization, and translation. We provide resources to guide future research and reporting suggestions such as equal inclusion and disaggregation of data by sex. We also clarify misunderstandings about the use of both sexes in research such as beliefs that it necessarily increases the cost of research.

行为实验分析期刊》上的动物图谱:增加雌性动物。
我们研究了《行为实验分析期刊》(JEAB)最近完整年份(1958-2023 年)所报道的动物图谱,即非人类动物受试者的特征。我们特别对动物的性别进行了评估,以确定在其他学科中缺少雌性受试者的情况是否也存在于 JEAB 中。通过对所有非人类经验性文章进行系统编码,我们发现大多数动物图谱都存在报告不足的情况,而且相对于女性受试者而言,男性受试者的使用比例过高。此外,未报告动物性别的情况也很普遍,同时纳入男性和女性受试者的情况也很少。近几年的情况有所改善,但还需要更多的纳入。研究中缺少女性受试者以及动物图谱报告不足会导致研究结果不具代表性,并阻碍研究结果的复制、推广和转化。我们提供了指导未来研究的资源和报告建议,如平等纳入和按性别分列数据。我们还澄清了在研究中使用两性的误解,如认为这必然会增加研究成本。
