The Social

Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior requires understanding its experimental and philosophical underpinnings. His interpretation of the social behavior known as “language” builds directly from the experimental analysis of behavior in direct contact with its immediate milieu, both inner and outer, and from the framing of behavioral contact as contingency relations. The analysis of the contingency relations of verbal behavior, however, deals with properties of behavior not only under the dynamic controls of direct contact, but as that control is mediated by society. A social community constructs that mediation by shaping its members’ actions to teach other members how to verbalize effectively through the proper forms of action. As such, Skinner’s attributes of verbal behavior are: 1) relational; 2) mediational; 3) communal; and 4; stipulational. All four are necessary components of his analysis of verbal behavior, and constitute what he defines as verbal behavior.

Specific Learning

The subject for this experiment was a 9 year old boy with specific learning disabilities. Using experimental analysis of behavior techniques, his verbal responses to pictures were directly affected and controlled by oral instructions. This study involved four experimental conditions and daily as well as pre- and posttest data were obtained. The potential effects of the teacher's instructions to children are discussed.

Premack Principle

A technique based on the Premack principle was successfully used in the laboratory to change verbal behavior. The aim of the present study was to identify the critical behavioral change agents in this situation. Four groups of depressed Ss were used. The treatment of one group was based on the Premack principle. The other groups received treatment based on critical isolated components of this procedure. The first group showed a significant increase in the low-frequency verbal behavior. Contingent light onset was rejected as a critical behavioral change agent but deprivation of high-frequency verbal behavior could not be rejected. The results are discussed relative to the potential application of these findings to treatment.

Quantitative Results

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the emotional tone and verbal behavior of social media users who self-identified as having tinnitus and/or hyperacusis that caused self-described negative consequences on daily life or health. Research Design and Method An explanatory mixed-methods design was utilized. Two hundred “initial” and 200 “reply” Facebook posts were collected from members of a tinnitus group and a hyperacusis group. Data were analyzed via the LIWC 2015 software program and compared to typical bloggers. As this was an explanatory mixed-methods study, we used qualitative thematic analyses to explain, interpret, and illustrate the quantitative results. Results Overall, quantitative results indicated lower overall emotional tone for all categories (tinnitus and hyperacusis, initial and reply), which was mostly influenced by higher negative emotion. Higher levels of authenticity or truth were found in the hyperacusis sample but not in the tinnitus sample. Lower levels of clout (social standing) were indicated in all groups, and a lower level of analytical thinking style (concepts and complex categories rather than narratives) was found in the hyperacusis sample. Additional analysis of the language indicated higher levels of sadness and anxiety in all groups and lower levels of anger, particularly for initial replies. These data support prior findings indicating higher levels of anxiety and depression in this patient population based on the actual words in blog posts and not from self-report questionnaires. Qualitative results identified 3 major themes from both the tinnitus and hyperacusis texts: suffering, negative emotional tone, and coping strategies. Conclusions Results from this study suggest support for the predominant clinical view that patients with tinnitus and hyperacusis have higher levels of anxiety and depression than the general population. The extent of the suffering described and patterns of coping strategies suggest clinical practice patterns and the need for research in implementing improved practice plans.
