The relations linking aggressive to soc behavior are particularly strong when one considers the release & the control of aggressive behavior. The stimuli which provoke aggressive behavior nearly always come from outside; they are connected with the presence of a congener. One may assume that the stimuli & perceptions which enter into individual recognition have some connection with the triggering of aggressive. behavior ior. In mammals & esp in rodents, the role of olfactive cues has been stressed in a great many studies. In M mice, a great deal of individual recognition seems to depend on scent signals originating either in the genito-urinary region or in the urinary tract. The release of aggressive conducts is linked to similar olfactive cues: anosmia provokes a total disappearance of aggression in M mice. The role of the soc environment in the control of aggressive behavior can be studied by changing the density of pop. In natural conditions, the soc life tends to reduce aggressiveness; much animal behavior is directed towards developing exchange of information to reduce intra-specific fightings. But when M mice, for example, are isolated, their aggressiveness is increased; this phenomenon has been found in other animals & in man. In the same way, overcrowding increases aggressiveness in animals. Psychol'ts & physiologists have studied some of the internal changes involved by modification of the soc environment. In rodents, olfactive cues are also involved in these phenomena. AA.

Beginning with behavior analysts' tendency to characterize verbal behavior as "mere" verbal behavior, the author reviews his own attempt to employ it to influence both his staff and policies of our government. He then describes its role in psychopathology, its effect on speakers in healing themselves and on engendering creativity. The paper ends by calling to our attention the role of verbal behavior in the construction of behavior analysis.

The question of cooperation is examined in terms of both the theory of rational choice and the theory of social norms. Is it possible for rational individuals to bring about cooperation, or is normative behavior needed to maintain cooperation? Through the development of the Learning-Bayesian PD game, the following propositions are obtained. First, cooperation is maintained by farsighted and perfectly rational individuals who have the expectations of reciprocity. Second, however, this cooperation is not stable; disturbance or deviant behavior overthrows cooperation. Third, even under the existence of disturbance, if individuals behave normatively, they can maintain cooperation; normative behavior works as a stabilizer. Finally, if they behave not only normatively but morally (i.e., according to a categorical imperative), they can even transform noncooperation into cooperation; moral behavior works as a catalyzer of the transformation.

"What makes behavior deviant and who gets to decide what deviance is? Deviant Behavior seeks to answer these questions and more. This compelling text is for undergraduate students who are curious about the social forces that shape deviance, the motivations and consequences of deviant behaviors, and how our definition of deviance changes over time. Authors Jack Humphrey and Frank Schmalleger discuss a wide range of deviant behaviors - from criminal acts to extreme forms of typical behavior - and provide the necessary foundation to understand the impact of globalization on traditional and emerging forms of deviance. Students will explore deviance in our modern world using a systematic application of social and criminological theories to a range of deviant behaviors, including cyberdeviance and positive deviance, to help them better understand themselves, others, and their society"--

Discussed, defended, & applied is the following definition: A is acting paternalistically toward S if, & only if, A's behavior (correctly) indicates that A believes that: (1) his action is for S's good, (2) he is qualified to act on S's behalf, (3) his action involves violating a moral rule (or doing that which will require him to do so) with regard to S, (4) he is justified in acting on S's behalf independently of S's past, present, or immediately forthcoming (free, informed) consent, & (5) S believes (perhaps falsely) that he (S) generally knows what is for his own good.
