“…Some early examples include litter control applications at movie theaters (Burgess, Clark, & Hendee, 1971), grocery stores (Geller, Witmer, & Tuso, 1977;Geller, Witmer, & Orebaugh, 1976), shopping centers (Geller, Brasted, & Mann, 1980), football stadiums (O'Neill, Blanck, & Joyner, 1980), camping areas (Crump, Nunes, & Crossman, 1977;Powers, Osborne, & Anderson, 1973), and even prisons (Hayes, Johnson, & Cone, 1975).…”

The contributions and merits of an applied behavior analysis approach to encouraging proenvironment behavior are reviewed, along with a discussion of ways behavioral science can play a greater role in protecting the environment. After presenting the most serious threats to the earth's environment, the targets, settings and techniques of the behavioral intervention literature are reviewed. It is argued that behavior analysis can play a greater role in solving environmental problems through (a) reexamination and expansion of intervention targets, (b) increased focus on long-term maintenance of pro-environment behavior, and (c) more effective dissemination of intervention strategies and research findings.

“…1972; Kohlenberg and Phillips, 1973;Powers, Osborne, and Anderson, 1973), prompting the purchase of soft drinks in returnable bottles (Geller, Farris, and Post, 1973), and increasing bus ridership through token reinforcement (Everett, Hayward, and Meyers, 1974) are all applications of behavior principles to solve community problems. Motivating delinquents to participate in self-government (Fixen, Phillips, and Wolf, 1973), and using access to a recreation center as a reinforcer for increasing membership and reducing disruptions (Pierce and Risley, 1974) also represent promising new applications to longstanding community problems.…”

This study demonstrated the effect of training nine lower socio-economic adults participating as policy board members in a federally funded rural community project to make behaviorally defined statements to increase problem-solving behaviors in board meetings. A multiple-baseline design across subjects and skills was used to analyze the behavioral categories of: (1) stating the problem; (2) finding solutions to the problem, and (3) implementing the action to the solution. Problem-solving responses during board meetings increased for subjects following training and remained higher than baseline during follow-up.DESCRIPTORS: training problem solving, adults, rural poor, board training, behavioral community psychology, group problem solving, multiple baseline Applied behavior analysis, which began as an experimental-therapeutic endeavor with individual subjects exhibiting deviant or undesirable behavior (Ullmann and Krasner, 1965) has broadened in scope and application such that the principles may now be applied to solve social problems. The term Behavioral Community Psychology seems appropriate to denote applications to socially significant problems in unstructured community settings where the behavior of individuals is not considered deviant in the traditional sense. Encouraging welfare recipients to attend self-help meetings (Miller and Miller, 1970), reinforcing the picking up of litter (Burgess, Clark, and Hendee, 1971;Chapman and Risley, 1974;Clark, Burgess, and Hendee, 'This research is based upon a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the M.S. degree of the first author under the chairmanship of the second author.

Dados acerca dos impactos ambientais gerados pela disposição inadequada dos resíduos sólidos são alarmantes, assim como o seu custo para o Estado. O presente trabalho objetiva ilustrar como a ciência da Análise do Comportamento pode contribuir para a elaboração de programas de intervenção para gestão responsável de resíduos sólidos. Fazendo uso do recurso da pesquisa bibliográfica, alguns princípios básicos da ciência da Análise do Comportamento são apresentados em primeiro lugar. Segue-se uma revisão de artigos publicados no Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis de 1968 a 2016, que descrevem algumas das principais estratégias descritas em pesquisas sobre gestão de resíduos sólidos. Enfim, analisam-se tais pesquisas através de duas categorias de intervenção: eventos antecedentes de comportamentos pró-ambientais e eventos consequentes de comportamentos pró-ambientais. Enquanto considerações finais, propõe-se que os resultados dessas pesquisas, tal como descritos, possam ser usados como possíveis contribuições para planejamento de políticas públicas, assim como para ampliação do trabalho de pesquisa no campo.Palavras-chave: Resíduos Sólidos; Meio Ambiente; Análise do Comportamento; Estratégias de Intervenção.BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS AS A POSSIBLE SUPPORT TO MANAGING SOLID RESIDUESABSTRACTData on environmental impacts generated through inadequate disposal of solid residue is alarming and costly to the State. This work aims to demonstrate how the science of Behavior Analysis can contribute for elaborating effective intervention programs to the theme of solid residue. Through bibliographical research, some basic principles of Behavior Analysis are presented at first. A review of some of the papers on the theme published in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis from 1968 to the year of 2016 is conducted. These researches are analyzed through two different categories of intervention: pro-environmental antecedent events and pro-environmental consequent events. At last, this work highlights the importance of handling those conditions as a possible contribution to planning public policies and to incentivating new researches on the field.Keywords: Solid Residue; Environment; Behavior Analysis; Intervention Strategies.ANALISIS DE COMPORTAMIENTO COMO UN POSIBLE SOPORTE A LA GESTIÓN DE RESIDUOS SÓLIDOSRESUMENDatos acerca del impacto ambiental generado por la disposición inadecuada de residuos sólidos son alarmantes, así como el costo que genera para el estado. El propósito de este trabajo es ilustrar como la ciencia del analisis del comportamiento puede contribuir a la creación de programas de intervención para la buena gestión de residuos sólidos. Haciendo uso de la investigación bibliográfica, algunos principios básicos de la ciencia del analisis del comportamiento se presentan en primer lugar. Siguiendo una revisión de algunos artículos publicados en el Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis 1968-2016, que describen algunas de las principales estrategias que aparecen en búsquedas sobre gestión de residuos sólidos. Finalmente se analizan tales búsquedas mediante dos categorías de intervenciones: eventos antecedentes de comportamiento a favor del ambiente, mientras que consideraciones finales proponen que loa resultados de estas búsquedas, tal como se describen, puedan ser usados como posibles contribuciones para la planeación de políticas públicas.Palabras clave: Residuos Sólidos; Medio Ambiente; Analisis de Comportamiento; Estrategias de Intervención.
