The Influence of Kantor’s Interbehavioral Psychology on Behavior Analysis

  • Published:
The Behavior Analyst Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The contributions of J. R. Kantor and his system of interbehavioral psychology to the field of behavior analysis are examined. Two sources of information served to organize this investigation: (1) the historical record as described in the literature and (2) the results of a questionnaire survey sent to past and present editorial board members of the Journal for the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, and Behaviorism. The outcome of this investigation showed that Kantor has had a broader influence than might heretofore have been recognized. More importantly, contemporary behavior analytic research and theory are evolving in directions either influenced by, or consonant with, his approach. We conclude that Kantor’s interbehavioral psychology and his writings offer an important and valuable source of ideas and concepts for the future of behavior analysis.
