Abstract:
Chapter 11: CORRUPTION
An Integrity Violation Examined from a Behavior Analytic Perspective
Corruption is an integrity violation with ethical consequences for the individual and society, and different disciplines study it. In this chapter, we examine it from a behavior analytic perspective, using operant and culturant conceptual frameworks. The finding of two studies that analyzed corruption as an avoidance behavior and provide examples of possible interventions are presented. We give an account of how Rwanda tackled corruption through administrative reforms and its Itorero Civic Education Program to shape the integrity of its population. We end this chapter by calling behavior analysts to devote some of their attention to study corruption.
