Abstract

BRITTO, Ilma Aparecida Goulart de Souza  and  MARCON, Roberta Maia. Descriptive and experimental studies in applied contexts. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.2, pp. 204-214. ISSN 1413-294X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20190022.

This article aims at presenting the intellectual research of professors and students from the Psychology University of PUC Goiás between the years of 2003 and 2019. The findings made possible to exemplify the human behavior analysis science, highlighting its methods and principles, as well as the target behavior under study. The findings also allowed a discussion of the practical impact of these studies. The results showed a greater concentration of descriptive and/or experimental studies in journals covering different behavioral aspects from people diagnosed with some mental disorder, as well as people who did not present any psychiatric diagnosis but were under control of environmental variables tested in experimental conditions.

Keywords : problematic behavior; descriptive and experimental studies; applied behavior analysis.
