An Analysis of Dependent Contingencies in a Triadic Interaction Using an Exchange Task to Understand Dynamic Concurrent Contingencies under Independent and Reciprocal Conditions

“…Thus, this reminds us that when we approach issues, the contingency analysis requires a focus on individual behavior, taking into consideration that these individual behaviors occur in a social environment, which includes the behaviors of other individuals (cf. Cihon, 2022;Skinner 1953), and the social organizations formed as the products of individual behaviors (Krapfl & Gasparotto, 1982).…”

“…Differentiating between troubles and issues encourages behavior scientists to expand the scope of their analysis to include not only individual behavior but also to consider multiple individuals' behaviors and the role of social organizations in the analysis (Cihon, 2022). In other words, to address issues, the contingency analysis requires a focus on individual behavior, taking into consideration that these individual behaviors occur in a social environment, which includes the behaviors of other individuals (cf.…”

In the example of imposter syndrome, students, faculties, and administrative staff are the individuals interacting under the shared environment of an educational institution, forming what Skinner (1953) called a social system.…”
