Welcome to ScienceOfBehavior.com!
This website is devoted to achieving a happier, less consuming, and self-sustaining world. It is the pathway to learning about how the science of behavior can lead to your personal fulfillment and happiness, as well as others around you.
At this website you can:
- Learn about the science of behavior (sometimes called “behavior analysis,” or “behavioral psychology,” or “behaviorology”), its philosophy, assumptions, and important relationships between behavior and the environment.
- Acquire and apply evidence-based interventions that solve world-at-large behavioral problems in schools, homes, businesses, and the community.
- Understand ethical behavior and how to manage conflicts between individual and cultural (social) contingencies of reinforcement.
- Explain the relation of personal feelings to actions, why people feel the way they do, and how to create a world in which people will feel better.
- Examine issues of “free will” versus control by other persons, groups, and governments.
- Learn how to curtail dangerous world trends, of overpopulation, overconsumption, pollution, and warfare.
- Become more familiar with the important writings of B.F. Skinner.
To accomplish the above goals, you can engage in interactive tutorials that employ the powerful teaching technology known as Programmed Instruction.
