Tutorial. A Behavioral Analysis of Rationality, Nudging, and Boosting: Implications for PolicymakingSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 46 - Trang 89-118 - 2022
Marco Tagliabue
As recent trends in policymaking call for increased contributions from
behavioral science, nudging and boosting represent two effective and relatively
economic approaches for influencing choice behavior. They utilize concepts from
behavioral economics to affect agents’ concurrent suboptimal choices: in
principle, without applying coercion. However, most choice situations involve
some coercive elem... hiện toàn bộ
Grappling with the Complexity of Behavioral Processes in Human Psychological Suffering: Some Potential Insights from Relational Frame TheorySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 46 - Trang 237-259 - 2022
Colin Harte, Dermot Barnes-Holmes, Julio C. de Rose, William F. Perez, João H. de Almeida
Relational frame theory (RFT) has historically been considered the basic
explanatory science behind acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). However,
some have argued that there has been an increasing separation between the two in
recent years. The primary aim of the current article is to explore the extent to
which RFT concepts, particularly those that have been proposed recently in the
context o... hiện toàn bộ
Related to Anxiety: Arbitrarily Applicable Relational Responding and Experimental Psychopathology Research on Fear and AvoidanceSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 41 - Trang 189-213 - 2017
Simon Dymond, Marc Bennett, Sean Boyle, Bryan Roche, Michael Schlund
Humans have an unparalleled ability to engage in arbitrarily applicable
relational responding (AARR). One of the consequences of this ability to
spontaneously combine and relate events from the past, present, and future may,
in fact, be a propensity to suffer. For instance, maladaptive fear and avoidance
of remote or derived threats may actually perpetuate anxiety. In this narrative
review, we con... hiện toàn bộ
Revisiting an Analysis of Threats to Internal Validity in Multiple Baseline DesignsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 45 - Trang 681-694 - 2022
Timothy A. Slocum, P. Raymond Joslyn, Beverly Nichols, Sarah E. Pinkelman
In our previous article on threats to internal validity of multiple baseline
design variations (Slocum et al., 2022), we argued that nonconcurrent multiple
baseline designs (NCMB) are capable of rigorously demonstrating experimental
control and should be considered equivalent to concurrent multiple baselines
(CMB) in terms of internal validity. We were fortunate to receive five excellent

An Updated Bibliography of John B. WatsonSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 43 - Trang 431-444 - 2020
Bruno Angelo Strapasson
John B. Watson is a significant figure in the history of psychology. Although
some scholars contest the thesis that he was the creator of the behaviorist
movement, he was undoubtedly a great popularizer of behaviorism, and many of the
psychologists who proposed new varieties of behaviorism admit that they were
directly influenced by him. Most psychologists, and probably all behavior
analysts, read... hiện toàn bộ
The Verbal Behavior Stimulus Control Ratio Equation: a Quantification of LanguageSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 42 - Trang 323-343 - 2018
L. L. Mason, Alonzo Andrews
Language is a much sought-after yet elusive subject matter for scientific
investigation. Entire fields of study have evolved to address the complexities
of language, with most using a structural analysis as the framework for
examination. Skinner (Verbal Behavior, 1957) proposed that language fell within
the scope of a science of behavior and was therefore open to functional analysis
and interpreta... hiện toàn bộ
