“…As behavioral scientists, we hope that this line of research will shed a light on identifying variables we can change so that the participants who were "left out" can be included in the boundary defined by the interactions of human behaviors. If the sources of social issues lie in the behaviors of the human species (Cihon & Kazaoka, 2021), we can change our behaviors to achieve "Equity for All". As we stand on the shoulders of giants, we are reminded of the words of one such wise person who frequently reminded us, "We are all in this together.…”

Although behavioral science, due to its emphasis on the use of single-subject research design, appears to focus solely on individual behaviors, behavioral scientists have a long history of lamenting the trajectory of humans, societies, and the discipline itself. Some scholars, for instance, called for our attention to expand our focus beyond individual behaviors to generate solutions for societal issues that we face. When we attempt to develop solutions for issues that require multi-level analysis, we must be cognizant of how institutional contingencies operate at the individual level. The current study analyzed triadic interactions using an exchange task in six triads. The result of this study showed that one common pattern of interactions among participants across triads was direct reciprocation between two participants. The implications of such findings, how they inform social behavior and metacontingency experiments, and future directions are discussed.
