IPhA 2024. Marc-André Cotton: Behaviorism and the Shaping of the American Mind
What is this presentation about?
Historically founded on animal experimentation, behaviorism made withdrawal of parental attention-or ‘time-out’-one of the instruments of its Parent management training programs. However, the question of the effectiveness, or even harmfulness of this measure is still being debated. The aim of this presentation is to take a closer look at the studies that behaviorists claim to justify ‘time-out’ for children. The possible side-effects of ‘time-out’ for children’s psycho-affective balance, and the evolution of its social acceptability will also be examined.
