\nTrick or Treat! Behavior Theory and Crime, Dog Training and Beggars\u2019 Night Becomes Halloween
\nThree readings as a treat for this Halloween season. One segment from a criminology textbook and two articles on behavior analysis as it relates to this ghoulish time of the year.
\nShow Highlights:
\n- Behavior theory as seen by a criminologist. What is unique about behaviorism as compared to other fields in psychology. Why it is important for understanding the causes of crime. Criticisms of behavior theory.
\n- Operant conditioning and dog training. How our pets react can tell us something about the influence of the environment we have created for them. The importance doing good things without an incentive. The idea of altruism.
\n- How behavior analysis helped create the tradition of Halloween. Ugly realities of October in the 1930s. Police reports on vandalism and other mayhem in Des Moines, Iowa. How one woman started a campaign to establish an alternate behavior for children (perform a trick, stunt, sing a song, etc.) on \u201cBeggars\u2019 Night,\u201d the legacy of these efforts today.
