Purpose
Purpose
We aim to expand applications of behaviour science by addressing social issues, particularly those with social justice, human rights, and environmental implications.
We wish to empower people by providing motivation and reinforcement for addressing social issues. We search for means to fostering research and encourage behaviour scientists and practitioners to take practical action.
We will strengthen communities by providing a venue to share and explore. We hope to expanding public awareness of behaviour analytic principles and practices that can contribute to addressing social and environmental issues.
« The ideal of behaviourism is to eliminate coercion: to apply controls by changing the environment in such a way as to reinforce the kind of behaviour that benefits everyone. »
- B.F. Skinner
