Behaviors occurring in situations of domestic violence were collated from varied sources and analyzed in several ways, using a sort of backwards engineering of contexts. The many behaviors found in domestic violence (Table 1) suggested five common functional patterns which allow a better understanding of the context (Table 2): direct physical actions and threats against the woman; manipulating the context to control the woman's behavior; strategies to keep secrets within the relationships; strategies to monitor or find out about the woman and her activities and social contacts; and verbal constructions to threaten or to persuade the woman of the man's view for the world. In Table 3 we explored how the functional groupings from Table 2 might be used strategically by the men against the women, while Table 4 explored how these patterns of behaviors might start out innocuously but over time become more violent. Training women to recognize these functions rather than topographical behaviors could be useful for interventions. Finally, it was argued that the functional strategies of the men which appear in our analyses can only succeed if broader social and political contexts are in place. This means that to analyze the behaviors of domestic violence it is necessary to use broader contexts, such as those found in the political and feminist analysesthe analysis of domestic violence must involve more than just the two individuals behaving. Even what are considered "private" or "intimate" contingent relations within social relationships are only made possible by the patriarchal and capitalist bases of modernity. It is demonstrated how these can be included in behavioral analyses. KEYWORDS: domestic violence; contextual analysis; social relationship strategies; feminism and domestic violence; development of domestic violence; societal effects on behavior Domestic violence is prevalent in most societies around the world, and ranges from bullying and intimidation to severe physical violence and murder, leading to many negative life and health consequences for women and for families

“…The most prolific authors are Sigrid Glenn with 19 publications followed by Chris Ninness with 17 publications. Glenn's publications have primarily focused on developing a conceptual framework to study cultural phenomenon (e.g., Glenn, 1986;Glenn & Malott, 2004;Glenn et al, 2016). Chris Ninness has published articles on a variety of topics, including education (Rumph, Ninness, McCuller, & Holland, 2007), functional assessments (Davis et al, 2008), and social skill development (Halle, Ninness, Ninness, & Lawson, 2016).…”

“…Another possible contributor to the recent increase in empirical articles may be organized think tanks (e.g., see Glenn et al, 2016) Although most of the content of these meetings was conceptual, the conceptual material was intended to provide frameworks for advancing empirical behavioral systems science. According to our analysis, it was during this period that the journal started publishing a larger proportion of empirical articles.…”

We discuss the inception and history of Behavior and Social Issues (BSI) and its predecessor journals, Behaviorists for Social Action Journal and Behavior Analysis and Social Action, as the journals approach 40 years of combined publication. In addition, we conducted a quantitative analysis of BSI's article impact, content, and frequent contributors to date. Data indicate that BSI has served as a valuable outlet to discuss and conceptualize applications of behavior analysis to a range of social issues. KEYWORDS: bibliometric analysis; history; social issues; behavior analysis Nearing 40 years of publication, Behavior and Social Issues (BSI) has covered a range of topics under the broad umbrella of social justice, human rights, and sustainability. It has been unique among behavioral journals in the topics addressed, open accessibility of the journal, and unique history that shaped the foci of the journal. This paper takes the opportunity to reflect on the evolution of BSI by providing both a description of the context and history that has shaped the content of the journal over the past four decades and a quantitative analysis of BSI's publication record to date.

“…However, there were no cultural consequences, since the settlers confiscated the entire output and refused to share it with the indigenous population. The previously described relation between IBCs and APs seems to fit into the third type of metacontingency described by Glenn et al (2016). According to the authors, in certain situations the AP may act redundantly by selecting responses as well as IBCs.…”

“…This indoctrination model failed and was replaced by the practice of settlements. The concept of metacontingency (Glenn & Mallot, 2004;Glenn et al, 2016) can help us understand the cultural change that itinerant catechesis caused on the settlement policy. It involves culturants, cultural entities composed of interlocking behavioral contingencies (IBC) that generate an aggregate product (AP), which will produce cultural consequences (CC) if a criterion is fulfilled.…”

Ethnogenesis is a process of historic construction from interethnic interactions that originate new social categories, in other words, that form groups that distinguish from the rest of society. In Brazil, after the Constitution of 1988, different groups used their ethnogenesis to obtain recognition of their indigenous condition. One of these groups is the Tapuios do Carretão, a community in Brazil's centralwest region inhabited by descendants of indigenous, black, and white people, who speak Portuguese and are recognized by the Brazilian government as an indigenous group. The goal of this paper was to reconstruct an ethnogenesis of the Tapuios indigenous group from a Behavior Analysis perspective, thus improving our comprehension of this group's cultural practices by analyzing the processes that selected them. Behavior-analytical concepts would allow us to further understand changes in cultural practices that occurred due to colonization. Finally, we discuss the importance of laws in planning and changing cultures. For Brazilian indigenous groups, consequences such as the right to land and other benefits had an important role in encouraging members of indigenous communities to seek recognition of their condition. KEYWORDS: cultural Practices, metacontingency, macrocontingency, Tapuios do CarretãoThe Brazilian census in 2010 estimated that in Brazil there are 896,917 indigenous inhabitants distributed in 246 indigenous groups (Brasil, 2010). Before the Portuguese colonization, it is estimated that there were over a thousand indigenous groups adding to about 4 million indigenous people (Ossaimi de Moura, 2008). The colonization of Brazil by Portugal did not only decimate the indigenous population; it produced changes in cultural practices that facilitated the creation of
