“…Our theoretical emphasis on reactive biographies (Kantor, 1959;Kantor & Smith, 1975) is reflected on the way both OIS1-García and OIS2-García were developed. More specifically, our semantic makes reference to what happened in the past and from there we depart to what we expect in the future.…”

This is a report of the validation process of two scales that measure the OIS-García (optimist interactive style). An attempt was made to establish construct and convergent validity for these two scales. Towards this end, we relied on the Spanish version of the LOT-R (life orientation test-revised). Participants were 350 relatives of a cancer patient with a mean age of 39.87 years (SD = 14.88) and an age range going from 15 to 79 years. Each of the new versions of the OIS1-García and OIS2-García comprised 10 items. The Chronbach alpha internal consistency coefficients were 0.701 for the OIS1 and 0.633 for the OIS2. The Spearman correlation coefficient among these two tests was 0.438, the correlation among LOT-R and OIS1-García was 0.382, and the correlation among LOT-R and OIS2-García was 0.468. As a result, we were able to partially validate both versions of the OIS-García test.These findings serve as encouragement to develop more culturally sensitive and appropriate measurement instruments for specific cultures or populations.

“…All of this is expected to happen while thinking positively about our behaviors and knowing that we want to receive good things and offer others the best in us (Kantor, 1959;Kantor & Smith, 1975;Ribes & Sánchez, 1992). This is basically an interactive process: People with this interactive style believe that the world is pleasant and good and so are they.…”

“…The significance of the evolutionary or interbehavioral continuum, especially for those first acquiring knowledge of Kantor's psychological system, is twofold. First, it naturalizes all events (Kantor, 1959). Any event, whether an inorganic process or a highly sophisticated psychological act (e.g ., reasoning, remembering), occurs as a concrete spatiotemporal event.…”

The Nature and Value of Scientific System Building: The Case of Interbehaviorism

2005

developed and promoted an often underappreciated psychological system he called interbehaviorism that attempted to organize scientific values into a coherent system of psychology. Kantor insisted that in all scientific behavior the scientist needed to differentiate between constructs and events. If we were to develop constructs it would be only after careful observation of the actual events in context. He felt that his mission of forging naturalistic constructs for psychological events could be achieved only through scientific system building, and this was the activity that consumed his entire career. The present paper focuses on scientific system construction with the intent of (a) clarifying the nature and value of scientific system construction from Kantor's perspective, (b) articulating Kantor's systembuilding procedure, and (c) outlining the system of interbehavioral psychology produced in accordance with that procedure.

“…Hayes, , 1996. Hayes' perspective is based on Kantor's (1959Kantor's ( , 1977 psychological theory. In this perspective, the functions or actions of stimuli are more explicitly distinguished from their object sources, much as responses are distinguished from their organism sources.…”
