Resumo: The initial draft of the concept of operant conditioning and of the single-subject experimental design defines the bases of Skinner’s explanatory system. However, these formulations were not immediately welcomed. To enable a closer look on the history of formation of Behavior Analysis, three historical facts were highlighted: (a) the difficulties faced by Skinner at the end of his post-graduate studies; (b) the reaction to his first book, The Behavior of Organisms, and (c) the dispute with other explanatory behaviorial models. The conclusion of the present study is that the history of formation of Behavior Analysis is constituted by determinants of motivational, institutional, emotional and economic nature and by difficulties of going against the dominant methodological trends of North-American Experimental Psychology.

Tais fatos ocorreram na primeira metade da década de 1930. No entanto, essas formulações não foram aceitas e recepcionadas imediatamente pela comunidade científica, da maneira como B.F. Skinner esperava. De forma a explicitar elementos que possibilitem um olhar mais atento a esse período da carreira de Skinner e da história da formação da análise do comportamento, orientamos nossas discussões para três conjuntos de questões, quais sejam: a) as dificuldades enfrentadas por Skinner após o término de seu pós-doutorado na Universidade de Harvard; b) a recepção de seu primeiro livro, The Behavior of Organisms, no contexto da Psicologia Experimental norte-americana; c) a disputa com outros modelos explicativos do comportamento. Com essas questões, procuramos uma interpretação dos primeiros percalços históricos para aceitação e estabelecimento do sistema explicativo skinneriano. Percalços que não podem ser vistos como mera curiosidade histórica, mas como constituintes do desenvolvimento da análise do comportamento.Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de Brasília2011-12-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/revistaptp/article/view/18343Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 27 No. 4: Revista Psicologia: teoria e pesquisa; 545-554Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 27 Núm. 4: Revista Psicologia: teoria e pesquisa; 545-554Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 27 No. 4: Revista Psicologia: teoria e pesquisa; 545-554Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; v. 27 n. 4: Revista Psicologia: teoria e pesquisa; 545-5541806-34460102-3772reponame:Psicologia (Universidade de Brasília.
