O mundo sob a pele e suas relações com a análise do comportamento

Abstract

This work is meant to show how Radical Behaviorism uses, as object of study, behaviors taken as private, i.e. those ones disclosed only and exclusively to the individual. Against the mainstream of flawed beliefs claiming that Behavior Analysis ignores feelings, emotions and any other process taken as congnitive, the argumentation goes on how such approach includes them into its study range, but looking from a different angle: the analysis and cognizance of private events shall not be treated in any special way in comparison to other events considered as public. In other words, the present work seeks the elucidation of the importance Behavior Analysis gives to such processes and, moreover, sets them into its range of study, promoting precision and control in its analysis, not using any special method or technic for this achievement
