“…Behavior analysis is a valuable framework for understanding contextual variables and how they influence behavior. Several authors have discussed how behavioral principles explain adherence to protective behaviors against COVID-19 from different approaches: operant conditioning (Couto et al, 2020;Hübner, 2021;Shawler & Blair, 2021;Tibério et al, 2020), metacontingencies and culturo-behavior science (Amorim et al, 2020;Couto et al, 2020), and relational frame theory and contextual behavioral science (Hayes et al, 2020;Stapleton, 2020).…”

“…Some (antecedents and consequences were artificial --intentionally arranged by people--, and others were natural --normal in the daily dynamics; see Teixeira et al (2021) for a discussion between natural and artificial reinforcement--. According to Couto et al (2020), Shawler and Blair (2021), and Tibério et al (2020), some antecedents were social, such as the presence of others, the behavior model of others, verbal messages, and gestures. Other antecedents were non-social, such as posters, warning signs, and reminders.…”

“…During the pandemic, there were different contingencies of reinforcement with different concurrent consequences (Couto et al, 2020;Tibério et al, 2020). As Couto et al (2020) stated, some behaviors, like interacting while maintaining physical distancing, could obey different contingencies.…”

“…Also, repeated exposure to the contexts could cause stimuli habituation; habituation refers to a decrease in response because of repeated exposition (Domjan, 2015). Tibério et al (2020) suggested that information repetition could cause habituation and decrease protection response. Finally, valuation can change due to the discounting rate.…”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals adjusted their adherence to protective behaviors according to the social situation. Also, social consequences partially influenced, given that they were the most contiguous and likely to adherence behavior. The behavior analysis framework can help to understand the social contingencies that maintain adherence on a large scale in natural settings. This study assessed how social antecedents and consequences influenced adherence to protective behaviors. The antecedents were indoor and outdoor. The social consequences were receiving social approval, avoiding social disapproval, receiving a social rejection, and losing gratification in social relationships. The protective behaviors were mask-wearing, physical distancing, hand-washing, and correcting others. Colombian residents completed an online survey based on the indirect functional assessment in which they reported their adherence to the social contexts and the perceived social contingencies. People reported higher adherence to protective behaviors in the outdoor context than indoors. Social approval was the main reinforcer, and losing gratification in social relationships was the main punisher. Also, avoiding being judged worked as a reinforcer, and receiving social rejection worked as a punisher. Social context interacted with social consequences. The effect of consequences under adherence behavior was more intense in indoor than outdoor contexts. Mask-wearing and physical distancing were the more socially controlled protective behaviors. We demonstrated that the probability of certain social consequences partially explained adherence's subjective value. Our results about social approval were consistent with injunctive norm literature. Social distance with people involved in each social context can explain our findings.

“…Most behavior analytic studies addressing the COVID-19 pandemic have so far had an intrinsic conceptual character, highlighting the importance of metacontingencies. For instance, the study by Tibério et al [14] discusses variables that may explain behaviors such as social distancing, wearing masks and washing hands. Camargo and Calixto suggest [15] non-coercive behavioral strategies to promote selfcontrol and social cooperation.…”

A Behavioral Perspective on Community Resilience during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Case of Paraisópolis in São Paulo, Brazil

The present article discusses the emergence and dynamics of community resilience by empirically investigating the case of the favela of Paraisópolis in São Paulo, Brazil. The emergence of innovative practices that initially contributed to significantly lower rates of COVID-19 infection and mortality when compared to the city average is described. The analytical framework combines two conceptual perspectives in the study of complex systems. First, resilience in socio-ecological systems highlights the adaptation processes characterized by an interplay of previous experience and emerging new knowledge. Second, the metacontingency framework describes the interplay between a cultural milieu, as a context for cultural practices; an aggregate product; and a selecting environment that embed the acquisition and continuity of interlocking behavioral contingencies. Research methods that combine elements of the descriptive analysis and an exploratory basic qualitative study are employed to understand how the community has self-organized during this period. The findings demonstrate how previous experience with social challenges facilitated self-organization and the emergence of innovative practices in the context of uncoordinated public health measures during the pandemic in Brazil. Furthermore, findings from interviews indicate the existence of positive feedback loops at the community level that facilitated the emergence of innovative practices. This study aims at contributing to the understanding of community resilience by identifying the geographic, psychological, and ecological factors (contextual variables) that facilitate responses to the pandemic.
