About Behaviorology

Definition, Action, and Benefits
Behaviorology is an independently organized discipline featuring the natural science of behavior. Behaviorologists study the functional relations between behavior and its independent variables in the behavior-determining environment. Behaviorological accounts are based on the behavioral capacity of the species, the personal history of the behaving organism, and the current physical and social environment in which behavior occurs. Behaviorologists discover the natural laws governing behavior. They then develop beneficial behavior-engineering technologies applicable to behavior related concerns in all fields including child rearing, education, employment, entertainment, government, law, marketing, medicine, and self-management.

Naturalistic Foundations
Behaviorology features strictly natural accounts for behavioral events. In this way behaviorology differs from disciplines that entertain fundamentally superstitious assumptions about humans and their behavior. Behaviorology excludes the mystical notion of a rather spontaneous origination of behavior by the willful action of ethereal, body-dwelling agents connoted by such terms as mind, psyche, self, muse, or even pronouns like I, me, and you.

Independence
Among behavior scientists who respect the philosophy of naturalism, two major strategies have emerged through which their respective proponents would have the natural science of behavior contribute to the culture. One strategy is to work in basic non-natural science units and demonstrate to the other members the kind of effective science that natural philosophy can inform. In contrast, Behaviorologists are organizing an entirely independent discipline for the study of behavior that can take its place as one of the recognized basic natural sciences.

*TIBI is. . . a non-profit professional organization. TIBI exists to focus behaviorological philosophy and science on a broad range of cultural problems. TIBI sponsors an association (the TIBI Association, or TIBIA) for interested people to join, supporting the mission of TIBI and participating in its activities. Behaviorology Today is the magazine and newsletter of the Institute. The behaviorological guest and staff writers of Behaviorology Today provide at least minimally peer-reviewed articles as well as, on occasion and with explicit designation, fully peer-reviewed articles. They write on the full range of disciplinary topics including historical, conceptual, educational, philosophical, experimental, and technological considerations. When will your article arrive?

Please join us, if you have not already done so - and support bringing the benefits of behaviorology to humanity. Contributions are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
