The Goldiamond-Layng Theory of Emotions – A Tutorial - 2 CEUs - 3 Month Subscription

What do behavior analysts know about emotions, anyway? Do behavior analysts even believe in emotions? What variables influence the emotions we feel?  If you have ever been asked any of these questions, or maybe just wondered if behavior analysts have any theories about emotions, this tutorial may be the course for you.  In Tutorial: The Goldiamond-Layng Theory of Emotions, you will learn about the conceptual foundations of a radical behavior analytic theory of emotions developed by Israel Goldiamond and T. V. Joe Layng. In this course you will read Emotions and emotional behavior: A constructional approach to understanding some social benefits of aggression (Layng, 2006), and then complete two sets of fluency-based learning modules to promote mastery of the material.
