All science proceeds by progressively building on the work of others while remaining open to new discoveries and challenging existing conceptual frameworks. The same is true of culturo-behavior science.

This textbook presents the scientifically rigorous work of the last several decades that has taken a behavior-analytic view of social and cultural processes, with an eye for contributions that address social and cultural issues. The chapters herein explore and elaborate on the history, theories, and methodologies of culturo-behavior science and those of its researchers and practitioners. Throughout this volume, the authors intentionally prompt students to both learn from and question the current theory and methods while shaping their own research and practice.

This book presents multiple intersecting perspectives intended for graduate-level students of behavior analysis. Contributors to this volume include many of the major scholars and practitioners conducting research and/or practicing in communities and larger cultural systems. Their work is scientifically guided, systemic, and ecologically valid; it includes basic research as well as efforts having applications in community health, sustainability, environmental issues, and social justice, among other matters. There is material here to support specialists preparing to do research or practice within community and cultural-level systems. As well, students who intend to do direct and clinical work will find the background they need to make contributions to the field as engaged, informed citizens.

Supports and equips both specialists who intend to do research or practice with community and cultural-level systems, while remaining accessible enough for graduate students Timely and unique in its presentation of culturo-behavior systems science and building of connections for how this emerging sub-discipline can be taught more widely in behavior analysis education programs Meets emerging curricular needs exceptionally well, as it will be relevant for Verified Course Sequences (VCSs) for behavior analysis VCSs and ABAI accredited graduate training degree programs Contributors include many of the major scholars and practitioners conducting research and/or practicing in communities and larger cultural systems
