Parts of this interview appeared in the British documentary film, Prosocial Progress: A Blueprint for Social Sustainability. This documentary focuses on the relevance of the natural science of behavior—under old or new labels—to various aspects and areas of prosocial change, particularly some of the contributions of behaviorology to contingency arrangements that could increase the scientifically informed, prosocial activities of citizens, specifically with respect to solving global problems. Along with interviewees from Europe, the documentary features parts of interviews with three prominent North American behaviorologists: Julie Vargas, Janet Twyman, and Stephen Ledoux. You can access the documentary through the Prosocial Progress Foundation website at www.prosocialprogress.org or at the following link: http://vimeo.com/80155313.
