DIMENSIONS OF STIMULUS SITUATIONS WHICH ACCOUNT FOR BEHAVIOR VARIANCE

摘要

The programmatic objectives of this investigation involve theoretical and empirical research directed toward problems of accounting for the effects of the social and physical character¬istics of the environment In the study of behavior. The principle that behavior is determined simultaneously by inner and outer forces has been variously represented by schematic interaction equations, but very little has been dons systematically to implement the use of such equations by specifying a taxonomy of environmental (or situational) variables. These problems have received major attention in the present investigation.
