Effects of Verbal and Non-Verbal Cultural Consequences on Culturants

Abstract

Experiments about the effects of cultural consequences (CCs) upon culturants (IBCs+APs) suggest an important role of two specific variables: competition between operant contingencies and metacontingencies, and the antecedent and consequent verbal events to the participants' behavior. The present study manipulated the presentation of verbal (VCCs) and non-verbal (NVCCs) cultural consequences, examining their effects on culturants under conditions of competition and no competition between operant contingencies and metacontingencies. One hundred and twenty-three college students composed four microcultures. We programmed two microcultures with an ABABCD design and two microcultures with a BABACD format. Competition and noncompetition between operant contingencies and metacontingencies were also manipulated. In Condition A verbal and nonverbal cultural consequences were contingent on target culturants; in Condition B there were only nonverbal cultural consequences; in Condition C only verbal cultural consequences were presented; and in Condition D there was no cultural consequence programmed. Microcultures with no competition exhibited more stable rates of target

The Effects of Feedback on Cooperation in the Prisoner’s Dilemma Game Simulating a Closed Market Scenario

“…Our findings are consistent with previous work stating that "cooperative gestures toward a non-cooperative partner in the threeperson game had much less chance of eliciting cooperation in return" (Marwell & Schmitt, 1972, p. 382). Although the main scope of this study was not to explore players' rulegoverned verbal behavior, our findings support the claim that groups in which no vocal communication is allowed engage less in cooperative behavior Sampaio et al, 2013), for the selection of culturants is also less consistent (see also Soares et al, 2018) With regard to the PDG setting, the buyer feedback was supposedly the most influential source of control of the players' choices and, thus, earnings. Namely, it programmed for each player's individual earnings as a function of both their own and the other players' choice.…”

O Estudo Experimental das Relações entre Cultura e Comportamento Verbal: uma Revisão de Escopo

“…No que se refere ao tipo de procedimento experimental utilizados pelos autores, a escolha de linhas pelo participante e colunas pelo experimentador em uma matriz predominou com oito estudos, enquanto o Jogo Dilema do Prisioneiro Iterado (Iterated n-players Prisoner's Dilemma Game [INPDG]), versão do PDG com escolhas repetidas, reuniu sete trabalhos. Dez trabalhos (35,7%) utilizaram a substituição gradual de participantes (Andreozzi, 2009;Baia & Vasconcelos, 2015;Camargo & Haydu, 2016;Correia, 2018;Hosoya & Tourinho, 2016;Leite, 2009;Magalhães, 2013;Oda, 2009;Pin, 2017;Soares et al, 2018).…”

Tríplice contingência cultural: uma proposta de explicação comportamental da cultura

“…O interesse pela investigação da cultura estendeu-se também aos estudiosos da obra de Skinner (Baum, 2005;Biglan, 1998;Guerin, 1994;Lamal, 1991Lamal, , 1997, o que não significa, contudo, que tenham se limitado às considerações do autor sobre essa temática. Foram propostos novos conceitos Contingência cultural de três termos: Uma proposta de explicação comportamentalista da cultura para explicar a cultura, como o de metacontingências (Glenn, 1986(Glenn, , 1991Martone & Todorov, 2007;Todorov, 2012bTodorov, , 2013 e macrocontingências (Borba et al, 2014;Glenn, 2004), e essas questões também têm sido investigadas no âmbito de pesquisas experimentais (Soares et al, 2018;Velasco et al, 2017;de Carvalho et al, 2016).…”
