Behavior Analysis and Intersexuality

Abstract

There are several theories to explain human sexuality and there are several sciences that try to explain it. In this sense, for some years now, the Behavior Analysis has been concerned with issues of macrocontamination and metacontingency. In this sense, the Behavior Analysis understands sexuality as a behavior, and intersexuality as a metacontigence, that is, contingencies of reinforcement in which an organism depends on the other to obtain reinforcement and produces an aggregate product. Thus, the present paper is based theoretically on the Radical Bahaviorism of B.F. Skinner and aims to analyze the intersexuality in the light of the Analysis of the Behavior.
