STUDYING DEVIANT BEHAVIOR IN THE DIRECTION OF BEHAVIORISM
The article discusses the study of deviant behavior in the direction of behaviorism (Eng. behavior). The direction of behaviorism studies the formation of a behavioral paradigm in psychology, sociology and social philosophy. Behaviorism as a leading trend came out in America. The founder of behaviorism is psychologist John Watson (Watson John B.). In the article, the author describes the behavior with the stimulus (S) and the response behavior (R) and analyzes it using the “S → R” (stimulus - reaction) scheme. The article also examines theories and concepts of scientists in the direction of “neo-behaviorism,” such as Burrеs Skinner, Tolman Edward, Karl Hull and others. According to scientists, in neo-behaviorism, the behavior formula should not consist of two, but of three positions: stimulus (independent change) - intermediate change - reaction (change of dependence). In final part of the article, the author describes the theory of “socio-behaviorism” by Albert Bandura. Thus, the author in this article describes the theory of behaviorism and considers indicators of deviant behavior according to the “S → R” scheme.
