Abstract

Behavior and Social Issues, Spring/Summer 1991, Vol. 1, Number 1 Richard F. Bakos Department of Psychology Cleveland State University The field of behavior analysis progressively has expanded its horizons. In the 19808 and 40s, it focused on molecular responses of birds and small mammals. The 1950s and 60s witnessed an expansion to consideration of primate behavior, including that of humans. The 19708 and 80s experienced the behavioral community psychology emphasis, which investigated behavior and its controlling contingencies within the context of the social network that characterizes' communities. As the 19908 begin, behavior analysis has matured to the point where it can go beyond Skinner's early discussions of large seale social processes (1953, 1971), and consider, in increasingly sophisticated manners, the contingencies that societies impose on their members and the functional relationship of these contingencies to the behavior of their constituents. The interest in behavior analysis on a societal level has been manifested in two directions. Some writers have developed cogent theoretical perspectives and general analyses.. Malagodi (1986), Malott (1988), Segal (1987), and Glenn. (1986, 1988) exemplify this focus.. Glenn, in particular, has been working systematically to integrate behavioral theory with cultural materialism, an anthropological perspective developed by Harris (1979).
