  • Quarter II, 2016 from the President
    OperantsQUARTER II, 2016 from the president f you are a practitioner, what do you do if your usual procedures aren’t working? Most of us ask others for help. The final authority, however, is not a supervisor or colleague. It is the underlying science. B. F. Skinner described Iscience as “first of all an attitude. It is a disposition to deal with the facts, rather than what one has said about them.” But what are “facts?” They are descriptions about how the world works. New discoveries may extend our understanding of phenomena. But one thing about science does not change: it does not include non-material agencies as causes of physical, biological, or behavioral events. As behavior analysts or as behaviorologists, we do not appeal to personality, selfishness, motivation, or other inferred “agencies” to explain behavior. These “agencies” do not consist of behavior. Behavior exists inside our skins of course. Like overt actions, internal behavior depends upon contingencies: the relation between existing actions, their results, and the circumstances in which those relations exist. If a procedure is not working, we do not attribute failure to an internal agency resisting change. We attribute lack of success to a set of contingencies that we need to change. Julie S. Vargas, Ph.D. President, B. F. Skinner Foundation Arabic Translated by Nidal Daou ماذا تفعل لو كنت مامرسااومامرسة يفً علم النفس او تحليل السلوك التطبيقي، و األساليب االعتيادية مل تنجح؟ يف ظروف كهذه، نلجأ لآلخرين للمساعدة. املرجع االخري فهو ليس املرشف)ة( عىل عملك او الزميل)ة(. إمنا املرجع االخري فهو العلم األسايس.

  • Operants Fourth Quarter
    operantsEpisode IV, 2015 from the president . F. Skinner loved to tell a story to illus- trate the power of doubling. The story has many versions. As Skinner told it, a man did a huge favor for a Chinese emperor. When the emperor asked him how he Bwould like to be paid, the man bowed and said, “Oh, just pay me in rice grains using this chess board: Count out one grain for the first square, two grains for the next, four for the next and so on, doubling each time.” That didn’t seem like much rice, so the Emperor agreed. Skinner would chuckle as he said that doubling 64 times ended up with more rice than existed in all of China. Subscriptions to Operants nearly doubled from 2013 to 2014 and again in 2015. Operants subscribers can’t continue to double for 64 years: There are fewer than 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 people on earth. But we hope to continue the magazine’s impressive growth. The growth in quality as well as subscrip- tions can be traced to the work of the editors and correspondents. Operants now links subscribers into a worldwide behavioral community. Wheth- er a contributor or a reader, your participation furthers the Foundation’s goal of making the world a better place through behavioral science. Julie S. Vargas, Ph.D. President, B. F. Skinner Foundation Chinese Traditional Translated by Libby Cheng 斯金納 (B.F. Skinner) 喜歡講故事來說明雙倍的力量。這個故事有很多版本。由Skinner講的版本是，有一個人幫了中國皇帝一個大忙。當皇帝問 該男子想要什麼報酬, 他鞠躬, 然後說：“只要使用這個棋盤付我米粒就好了, 計算方法如下: 第一個棋盤方格付一粒米，第二個付兩粒米，第三 個付四粒米,如此類推, 每次雙倍。” 這似乎並不多米，所以皇帝同意了。斯金納(Skinner)輕笑，他說，倍增64次後的米粒還要比存在於全中國的 多。 Operants的認捐在2013至2014年差不多翻了一倍，在2015年又翻了一倍, Operants的用戶無法繼續雙增64年：因地球上的人口少於 9,223,372,036,854,775,808。但是，我們希望本雜誌的認捐繼續有顯著增長。 在質量以及訂閱的增長可以追溯到編輯和通信者的工作。 Operants現在用戶鏈接到一個世界性行為業界的社群。無論是貢獻者或讀者， 您的參與進一步加強了行為學使世界變得更美好的基金會的目標。 Dutch Translated by Maximus Peperkamp & Bart Bruins B.F.

    WHEN IS REALITY REAL?: YOUTH PERCEPTIONS OF MTV REALITY PROGRAMS A thesis presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Rachel M. Potratz November 2007 2 This thesis titled WHEN IS REALITY REAL?: YOUTH PERCEPTIONS OF MTV REALITY PROGRAMS by RACHEL M. POTRATZ has been approved for the School of Telecommunications and the Scripps College of Communication by Norma Pecora Professor, School of Telecommunications Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication 3 Abstract POTRATZ, RACHEL M., M.A., November 2007, School of Telecommunications WHEN IS REALITY REAL?: YOUTH PERCEPTIONS OF MTV REALITY PROGRAMS (125 p). Director of Thesis: Norma Pecora This thesis examines how college freshmen relate to the personalities and content on MTV reality programs. Drawing from current theories about how viewers relate to television such as realism perceptions, identification, wishful identification, and parasocial interaction, this project looks takes a qualitative approach to understanding the particular relationships that exist between young viewers and the content and young casts of MTV reality programs. Eight college freshmen at a Midwestern university were interviewed about their perceptions of MTV reality programs, particularly Real World, Laguna Beach and The Hills. Additionally, a survey of 78 students was conducted in an introductory telecommunications course. It was found that judgments about the realism were based primarily on the students’ use of comparisons with their own lives and experiences. Additionally, knowledge of production processes played a role in realism perceptions. It was also found that students engaged in parasocial interaction and used reality television to learn about the world.

    October 7, 2019 Strategy Session Minutes Book 148, Page 827 The City Council of the City of Charlotte, North Carolina convened for a Strategy Session on Monday, October 7, 2019 at 5:46 p.m. in Room 267 of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Government Center with Mayor Vi Lyles presiding. Councilmembers present were Dimple Ajmera, Tariq Bokhari, Ed Driggs, Larken Egleston, Julie Eiselt, Matt Newton, Greg Phipps and Braxton Winston II. ABSENT: Councilmembers Justin Harlow, LaWana Mayfield, and James Mitchell. * * * * * * * AGENDA OVERVIEW Marcus Jones, City Manager said I want to start off by highlighting that the great part about our Strategy Sessions is that there is an opportunity for items that have been in Committee, that have been voted out of Committee to come before the full body during the Strategy Session. We have two items tonight that have come out of Committee, one being the Business Investment Grant Policy and the other being the Street Maps. When we get to Councilmember Phipps’ Committee, there is one item that deals with policies around our Municipal Service Districts that while we don’t have a presentation for it, he will address it during that time. Those are the issues that are coming out of Council Committees; we also have an update on Vision Zero as well as the Waste Water Master Plan and one of the things that we do at the Strategy Session also is to give you a heads up before something comes on a future agenda. So, you will have an item on a future agenda around the Waste Water Master Plan and then lastly before the Committee Updates; at the last Business Meeting, there was a question about the Neighbors App by Ring, and we have Deputy Police Chief Estes here tonight to help address that.
