Purchase 		Coercion and Its Fallout - ePUB Format
Coercion and Its Fallout, Revised Edition By Murray Sidman Do you use Coercion? No? When you have finished this book, you are going to be very surprised; you are going to know some things about yourself that you never knew before. We use coercion almost exclusively to control each other; many find it hard to imagine any other way. The author asks, Does the death penalty deter potential murderers? Is harsh retaliation the answer to the discipline problem in our schools? Do the standard coercive practices work? - in law enforcement, behavior therapy, education, the family, business, the armed forces, diplomacy. Behavior analysis has shown that they do not work. Coercion is in the long run self-defeating. Punishment eventually proves counterproductive. Sidman presents a rational discussion of matters in which emotions usually run strong. He proposes that what we have learned in the laboratory can provide guides both for personal conduct and public policy.Language: English ISBN-13: 978-1-881317-17-3 Publish Date: 1989 EFormat: 2013 Publisher: Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies Format: ePub or .mobi (Kindle) You will be asked which format is preferred upon fulfillment through email.

Purchase 		Verplanck Glossary/Thesauruswith Psychology on a Disk andSociology on a DiskCD-ROM
Verplanck Glossary/Thesaurus with Psychology on a Disk and Sociology on a Disk (CD-ROM) The first published version of William S. Verplanck's Glossary/Thesaurus project appeared in a 1957 supplement to the Psychological Review: A glossary of some terms used in the Objective Science of Behavior, Volume 64, #6, Part II. Verplanck has since increased the size of his glossary to well beyond 3,000 terms, and an expandable web version is under development by Verplanck and an editorial committee in cooperation with the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies (www.behavior.org) and the Archives of the History of American Psychology, University of Akron (www.uakron.edu/ahap/). The fully developed version will allow the addition of new terms, commentary on existing terms, and the linking of terms to those in other glossaries. In the interim, CMS Software is privileged to make available both the 1957 and the 2000 versions of the Verplanck Glossary/Thesaurus, in rich text format, as a component of its CD-ROM edition of Psychology on a Disk and Sociology on a Disk. The glossary is searchable by term or by thesaurus index number. Both scholars and students will find Verplanck's definitions and commentaries on a broad range of terms in the behavioral sciences not only scholarly and informative but also incisive and witty. As it stands, the Glossary organizes virtually the entire field of psychology from a behavioral perspective. It will continue to grow once it is in place on the web. Meanwhile, here is the current version, conveniently accessible on a single CD-ROM disk. ISBN 0-922077-30-4Published by CMS Academic Software (2000)


Purchase 		Equivalence Relations and BehaviorA Research Story
Equivalence Relations and Behavior: A Research Story by Murray Sidman How does the work of Sidman and his coworkers on equivalence relations fit into science and into life? Why were the experiments really done (the Journals never let you tell the whole story)? How did the researchers feel about what they were doing? Much new material, along with reprints, shows the ups and downs, moments of joy along with frustrations, intellectual triumphs and puzzles, intricacies of the reasoning process--and, of course, data. Clearly, Sidman is uncomfortable without data; he has spent his life gathering new data, thinking about it, and working out the next steps. Here is his story. From the Author's Introduction:A major source of my own interest has been what seems to me a central role of equivalence relations in making language such a powerful factor in our everyday social intercourse ...One of the most fascinating observations is that we often react to words and other symbols as if they are the things or events they refer to. . . . This treatment of linguistic forms as equivalent to their referents permits us to listen and read with comprehension, to work out problems in their absence, to instruct others by means of speech or text, to plan ahead, to store information for use in the future, and to think abstractlyall of these by means of words that are spoken, written, or thought in the absence of the things and events they refer to.

Purchase 		Tactics of Scientific ResearchEvaluating Experimental Datain Psychology
Tactics of Scientific ResearchEvaluating Experimental Data in PsychologyMurray Sidman Discussing the major themes of replication, variability, and experimental design, Sidman describes the step-by-step planning of experiments, the need for constant attention to trends of incoming data, and the alteration of plan, method, or design that those trends sometimes make necessary. From the Author's Preface:The conception of experimental methodology that I advance here is neither revolutionary nor new. But I must caution the student not to expect a set of rules of experimental procedure, to be memorized in classic textbook fashion. The pursuit of science is an intensely personal affair. Experimenters cannot always tell us how or why they do what they do, and the fact that their conclusions are sound so much of the time remains a puzzle even to the many philosophers, logicians, and scientists who have devoted a major portion of their time and effort to this problem.
