After the derivation was defined in [19] by Posner a lot of researchers studied the derivations in ring theory in different manners such as in [2], [4], [5], ..., etc. Furthermore, many researches followed the definition of the generalized derivation([3], [6], [7], ..., etc.). Finally, Maksa defined a symmetric bi-derivation and many researches have been done in ring theory by using this definition. In this work, defining a symmetric bi-$\alpha$-derivation, we study the mentioned researches above in the light of this new concept.
