Abstract

JARDIM, Pedro Henrique  and  GIOIA, Paula Suzana. Blackness in Brazil: publications in behavior analysis. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.1, pp.1-15. ISSN 1516-3687.  https://doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/ePTPSP13071.en.

Quantitative data has been revealing differences between blacks and non-blacks regarding violence in Brazil. This fact opens space to discuss racism. Authors have been pointing out that there is a need to consider historical aspects, such as slavery, to understand the current stage of the phenomenon. This study aimed to discuss the contribution of Behavior Analysis, through its studies, to the construction of non-racist behaviors. Having the last 20 years as a time frame (2000-2020), a search and a selection of studies that contained the keywords Racism, Racial, and Behavior Analysis were carried out in the CAPES Journals database, from Brazil. The found studies discussed tools for measuring implicit racial bias as well as ways of intervention. It was concluded that Behavior Analysis, although an effective science for behavior change, still needs to increase its production on racism.

Keywords : racism; structural racism; Behavior Analysis; stimulus equivalence; implicit racial bias.
