“…The newspaper Correio Braziliense recently reported that parliamentarians are discussing the possibility of increasing the penalties against property damage, which includes tagging. The enactment of the law may change the practice of tagging, depending on how the law is enforced (e.g., Sénéchal-Machado & Todorov, 2008).…”

Tagging is a kind of graffiti that involves writing one's name using markers or spray paints. In Brazil, the tagging behavior has spread all over the country and especially in the big cities. Aspects of the culture deserve careful attention by behavioral scientists. This article describes possible variables controlling the behavior of members of tagging cultures of Brazil, based on a behavior analytic framework. We performed an ethnographic study in which the researcher accompanied the taggers in all their normal activities as a participant observer of their culture; in addition, he conducted interviews. Our findings identified at least four different properties of the cultural practices: (i) The transmission of symbolic communication characterizing the cultural unit as distinguished from the rest of society. (ii) The shaping of increasingly sophisticated expression and artistic proficiency. (iii) The high visibility-high risk-high impact paradox. (iv) The hierarchical organization and status distribution. Having identified these cultural properties and the related behaviors, we discuss the contribution of a behavior analytic conceptual framework both for the purpose of tracing the possible contingencies of reinforcement and to suggest possible strategies for intervention that could result in alternative prosocial behaviors to replace tagging.

“…Usando dados quantitativos como número de assembleias, número de presentes em cada assembleia, número de assuntos diferentes tratados e estrutura organizacional, Vasconcelos-Silva mostrou mudanças em contingências comportamentais entrelaçadas e em produtos agregados de uma organização do tipo cooperativa para o tipo de gerência de pequena empresa (Vasconcelos-Silva, Todorov, & Silva, 2012). Sénéchal-Machado também usou documentos e entrevistas para analisar a campanha que resultou ao respeito à faixa de pedestres em Brasília em 1996, modificação no comportamento de toda a população que dura até os dias de hoje (Sénéchal- Machado & Todorov, 2008). (2004) parecem ter sido responsáveis pelo ressurgimento de trabalhos de análise experimental do comportamento social, um tipo de pesquisa básica sem forte tradição na análise do comportamento.…”

ResumoPráticas culturais são fenômenos sociais mantidos por contingências que prevalecem em sociedades, grupos ou organizações. A abordagem comportamental das práticas culturais tem se caracterizado principalmente pela análise experimental do comportamento operante de pessoas consideradas individualmente. O conceito de metacontingência abriu a possibilidade de realização de pesquisas empíricas em uma área antes aberta apenas a interpretações. O presente artigo explora o conceito em experimentação de laboratório, na interpretação de experimentos naturais, e na análise de leis, regulamentos e instrumentos semelhantes, destinados a descrever contingência para a regulação do comportamento de pessoas vivendo em sociedade.Palavras-chave: análise do comportamento, cultura, práticas culturais, contingências sociais, metacontingências. AbstRActCultural practices are social phenomena maintained by contingencies that prevail in societies, groups, or organizations. The behavioral approach to cultural practices has been characterized primarily by the analysis of operant behavior of people working individually. The concept of metacontingency opened the possibility empirical research in an area previously only open to interpretation. The present paper explores the concept in laboratory experimentation, interpretation of natural experiments, and analysis of laws, regulations and similar instruments for describing contingency for regulating the behavior of people living in society.

Conservation and Transformation of Cultural Practices through Contingencies and Metacontingencies

Cultural practices are maintained by social contingencies that prevail in a given society, group or organization. Behavior analysts have dealt mostly with cultural practices while individual behavior has been examined through the experimental analysis of operant behavior. Metacontingency is a generic concept encompassing the behavior of persons in groups leading to aggregate products, some effect on the environment that is possible through the result of interlocked behavioral contingencies. The concept has generated a large amount of empirical research, much of it experimental. So far metacontingencies have been classified as ceremonial or technological. The present work advances the classification of conservative metaconcontingencies, in which the aggregate product is strictly specified by the social contingency, and transformative metacontingencies, which require variability and originality in the aggregate product.
