Our words, actions and even our presence can profoundly affect other people, but we often misread the situation or underestimate ourselves. Emotions and cognitive biases often get in the way.Through extensive behavioral research and workplace study, Vanessa Bohns — the Cornell ILR School's Braunstein Family Professor and chair of the organizational behavior department — has developed strategies for us to better observe our influence, reconsider our fear of rejection and sometimes even use our influence more sparingly. Bohns, the author of “You Have More Influence Than You Think,” encourages us to recognize the influence we already possess rather than seeking new ways to gain it.What You'll LearnHow to be more mindful and present in your interactions with othersHow to get better at asking for thingsHow to get better at saying noHow to recognize and harness our influence for good by building stronger relationships and creating more supportive environmentsThe Cornell Keynotes podcast is brought to you by eCornell, which offers more than 200 online certificate programs to help professionals advance their careers and organizations.

Hey everybody I hope you're having a great summer so far, or whatever season it happens to be whenever you listen to this episode. Some of the things I've been doing recently is going back through the behavioral observations archives and giving episodes a second or third listen. One of those episodes was Session 193 that I published in July 2022, and my guest was Dr. Claire Saint Peter. In that episode we talked about the constructional approach, as it were, and how it relates to solving behavior problems. This topic has been getting a lot of attention lately. When I was at ABAI in Philadelphia a few weeks ago, I attended several talks on the constructional approach, which prompted me to listen to this episode again. And when I did listen to this episode for a second time I felt that there were so many really helpful pieces of information that I wanted to republish it. What I did with this episode is essentially started after the part in which Claire talked about her background and getting into behavior analysis. Now if you want to go back and listen to that story, and I think it is a good story by the way as it's a bit of a microcosm of the history of applied behavior analysis, you can certainly do so. However, for the purposes of brevity, I decided just cut out that introductory section so the overall experience is a bit more focused, especially for those of us who are listening to this for a second, third, or fourth time. With that said, I really hope you listen to this episode and it's entirety there are so many great nuggets have information. Although we talk about the application of the constructional approach to a student in a school setting, I am sure that you will make connections to all sorts of applications. I will also make this episode eligible for a continuing education unit, as I have been doing with many older episodes as well. So if you are looking to get caught up on your continuing education, go to behavioralobservations.com to see the nearly 60 episodes we have available for your continuing education. The last thing I'll say about this episode is that this is not the last thing I'll say about the constructional approach. I guess I'm saying that out loud for some accountability, because of said this before, but I want to have some other guests on to talk about this because I think it's an interesting way to look at behavior analysis and it's ability to address problems of social importance.

Behavioral research is alive and well ... online Some time ago, we wondered whether survey research is dead. Today, we speak with , who argues the exact opposite. He gives us plenty of advice on how to design online experiments, sample rigorously on platforms like Prolific, build reliable psychometric measurements, and embed surveys in robust research designs. And because Jason is not only a prolific scholar and senior editor in our field but also very active on LinkedIn, we also talk about reviewing practices and how social media can help communities address topics that need to be spoken about. . 

Dr. Robert Epstein joins the program to discuss the power Google and other social media companies have over society. It is hidden and most people have no idea. He presents peer reviewed, professional and well structured studies proving what can only be term as "mind control" and manipulation over your thoughts and ideas. He also shares how much power Google has over all elections in every country. Evidence shows they can and do "fix" elections with just their tools/influence. The ignorance and apathy of the masses and the "leaders" in society is the only reason this is allowed to continue.

In 2015, Dr. Robert Epstein, a psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, made world news. Dr. Epstein was one of the authors of a groundbreaking study that found that Google's search ranking algorithm could influence how people vote. Even more shocking, according to Dr. Epstein, "We estimate, based on win margins in national elections around the world, that Google could determine the outcome of upwards of 25 percent of all national elections." And just exactly how could Google do this? By simply changing the order of positive and negative stories appearing in search results. In this episode of Privacy Files, we talk to someone who is trying to give the world a more "honest search engine." Kristin Jackson is the Co-Founder and President of Freespoke Search, a search engine designed to provide balanced search results, promote free speech, and protect your privacy. We begin by discussing some of the inherent problems with existing search engine options and how Kristin found herself in the center of the fight against Google. Then we discuss what Freespoke Search is doing to shake up the search engine industry. We also cover Freespoke Search's unique business model and how it differs from the competition. Toward the end of the interview, Kristin talks about how she protects her personal data and offers some advice to the audience for becoming more private.

I'm thrilled to be joined by none other than Dr. Tim Vollmer. In this podcast, we talk about a wide variety of research and practice topics, as well as some funny stories from his long and prolific career. Specifically, talk about how his dog ate his copy of Strategies and Tactics, how he and his colleagues analyzed 2 and 3-point shot patterns in basketball games, his line of research that examined The Good Behavior Game, Behavior Analysis and the game of Poker, and his take on why he and his students have such an affinity for one another.  That's not all. We probably spent the most amount of time discussing the topic of ignoring in the context of Behavioral Intervention Plans, and its potential problems.  I really hope you stick around until the end of the podcast, because we close the show in a slightly different format. Instead of asking Tim my normal closing question (advice for the newly minted), I ask him to share his thoughts on the future direction of Behavior Analysis, including both risks and opportunities.

In addition to leading the Habits at Work team, Andrew Sykes is a Lecturer of Entrepreneurship at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management and a member of the Kellogg Sales Institute Executive Education Team, where he instructs the acclaimed course "Entrepreneurial Selling." This course has been recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the "Top Ten" courses in the United States.With a career spanning 30 years, Andrew has held roles as a salesperson, entrepreneur, speaker, and expert in behavior change. His professional journey commenced with the establishment of one of South Africa's largest healthcare consulting companies.He is also a co-author of the book "The 11th Habit," which distills the research conducted by the Behavioral Research and Applied Technology Laboratory (BRATLAB). This research focuses on identifying the habits that truly contribute to sustained high performance, competitive differentiation, trust building, and organizational growth, and offers guidance on how individuals can develop and practice these essential habits.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling From The Heart, Andrew Sykes discusses the importance of trust in sales and how to build trust in the first few minutes of a conversation. He shares his insights from years of research on trust and offers practical advice for sales professionals. Andrew emphasizes the need for salespeople to be committed to helping others make progress in their lives and to understand and meet their customers' expectations. He also challenges the common belief that trust takes time to build and explains how trust can be established in a matter of minutes. Andrew provides a framework for creating a strong first impression and highlights the power of genuine smiles and eye contact. He also discusses the role of apologies in trust-building and the importance of self-trust.KEY TAKEAWAYSTrust is something we give to others by vulnerably exposing ourselves to their potential deception or incompetence.Trustworthiness is assessed by others based on their experience of people like us in the past.The first few minutes of a conversation are crucial for building trust, and salespeople should focus on creating a strong first impression.Salespeople should introduce themselves by sharing one thing about their credible past and one thing that led them to choose their current profession.Apologies often break trust instead of restoring it, and salespeople should focus on acknowledging the impact of their actions and fixing it.People often lack self-trust and easily break promises to themselves, which can hinder their personal and professional growth.QUOTES"For me, selling from the heart means being committed to helping another human being make progress in their life.""Trust is something we give to other people. It's choosing to vulnerably expose ourselves to someone else's deception, incompetence, or lack of a track record.""Being trustworthy as assessed by someone else couldn't be more different because we assess trust based on false signals.""Trust is a generous thing to give, but being worthy of trust is assessed by someone else based on their experience of people like you in the past.""The feeling most people have when we're approaching them as salespeople is not unlike that feeling when you see three young adults with clipboards on the street.""Rather than saying, 'My name is Andrew, I'm the head of sales,' I encourage people to say one thing about their credible past and one thing that led them to choose their current profession.""Apologies usually break trust, not restore it. It's important to acknowledge the impact of your actions and focus on fixing it.""People often lack self-trust and easily sell themselves down the river, quitting on their dreams or promises to themselves.""The only way to unlock the greatness in us that hides behind our blind spots is to have generous people point to things in our potential that we don't see in ourselves."Learn more about Andrew Sykes: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewsykes1/Learn more about Darrell and Larry: Darrell's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrellamy/Larry's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrylevine1992/Website: https://www.sellingfromtheheart.net/Got a video about how you sell from the heart?

Drs. Jane Howard and Gina Green join me today in a podcast that could've spanned several hours. In the time we had, we did manage to cover quite a bit of territory, including the following: What Gina has been up to since retiring from the Association for Professional Behavior Analysts (spoiler alert: she's not hanging out at the beach reading mystery novels). We talk about Jane's career in behavior analysis, including how she got into the field, some of her many, many accomplishments (including being recently honored as a Fellow of the Association for Behavior Analysis International), and what she is working on these days. The basics of research design, including why some experimental questions lend themselves to certain designs over others. In this segment, we also cover group or between-subjects designs and meta analyses, which are relevant to understand when looking at the ABA outcome literature.  The distinction of criterion vs. norm referenced assessments. We discussed a number of initiatives and resources in the general realm of ABA treatment, including the current state of licensure, The ABA Coding Coalition, The Autism Commission on Quality, & CASP. We talked at length about critical thinking, healthy skepticism, and epistemology in Behavior Analysis.  In addition to these topics, we probably spent the most time talking about the empirical support for ABA interventions for individuals with Autism. In doing so, we discussed the large research projects that Jane and Gina led, what to make of some of the criticisms of this literature that is starting to gain some notoriety, and what research questions we still need answers to.  Jane and Gina mentioned numerous studies and resources, and I've done my best to catalog them below: Session 21 (my first interview with Gina in 2017).

GUEST OVERVIEW: Dr Robert Epstein is an author, editor, and longtime psychology researcher and professor—a distinguished scientist who is passionate about educating the public about advances in mental health and the behavioral sciences. The former editor-in-chief of "Psychology Today", Dr Epstein is currently Senior Research Psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology.

Today's episode features a Q&A with our own Graham Page. Graham leads the Media Analytics business Unit as Global Managing Director of Media Analytics at Affectiva, a Smart Eye company. He pioneered the integration of biometric and behavioral measures to mainstream brand and advertising research for 26 years as Executive VP and Head of Global Research Solutions at Kantar.Over the course of the last year or so, there has been a thread of debate in the media regarding the validity and ethics of facial emotion recognition.  This has often reflected the point of view of some data privacy groups who are concerned about the use of facial technologies across several use cases, or the opinions of commercial interests who offer alternative biometric technologies, or traditional research methodologies.Scrutiny of emerging technologies is vital, and the concerns raised are important points for debate.  Affectiva has led the development of the Emotion AI field for over a decade, and the use of automated facial expression analysis in particular.

Strange and thought provoking episode today! In the 1940s, 50s, and early 60s, animal behavior researcher John B Calhoun ran a number of experiments on rodents regarding how their behavior would be affected by increased urbanization if all their basic needs were made. The results were terrifying. Crowded rats and mice became increasingly violent and lost their reproductive instincts to the point that eventually, the utopia went extinct after enduring a final phase full of random violent attacks, apathy, cannibalism and more. Could the increased urbanization of humanity also lead to our species' extinction as Calhoun warned?  Or are we humans too different from rodents to presume that what happens to mice and rat would also happen to humans? I found today's episode one of the most thought provoking we've done in quite  some time.

Latest example: we're financing drag shows in Ecuador… Dennis talks to Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel from 1996–1999 and 2009¬–2021. His new book is Bibi: My Story.  Marijuana use among young adults is skyrocketing as state after state legalizes its use. How could this be a good thing? Could there be a link between marijuana and the increase in depression and a lack of ambition among young people?... Dennis talks to Kelvin Cochran, former fire chief of Atlanta. He was fired for expressing his religious views in print.  Dennis talks to Robert Epstein, data scientist and founder of  American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology. Epstein has amassed evidence that Google is able to manipulate voter turnout for a particular party and candidate. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

If you've been tuning into one of the many Inside JABA Series I've done over the last few years, you're undoubtedly familiar with today's guest, Dr. Claire St. Peter. Claire is a Professor as well as the Director of Graduate Training at West Virginia University.  According to her university bio, Claire's "primary research interest is the assessment and intervention of challenging behavior. She is particularly interested in the development of effective interventions for challenging behavior displayed in school contexts (including the effects of degraded integrity on intervention efficacy) and with the dissemination of behavioral approaches to caregivers (teachers, parents, etc.)." And we do get to this very important topic of supporting typically developing individuals with behavior problems in school settings... but we get there in a roundabout way.  Before getting there, we talk about how she got into behavior analysis, and we spent a little more time on this than usual, because as it happens, Claire was doing her graduate training at The University of Florida at a time when many other prominent researchers and practitioners in Behavior Analysis were going through that program. I won't spoil the story here, but it's worth checking out because in my opinion it provides an interesting window into the development of an incredibly productive cohort of people.  We then transition into a primer of sorts in what's known as the "Constructional Approach" to behavioral treatment, intervention, and so forth. This approach was first described by Dr. Israel Goldiamond, and I highly recommend reading his seminal paper on this topic that was published in 1974. This topic has been getting a lot of attention in our field as of late, and I was thrilled to have Claire walk us through the basics of this perspective.  Towards the end of the podcast, Claire shares a fascinating case study in which she and her colleagues used this constructional approach to develop a novel behavioral intervention for a child who was exhibiting behavior problems in a school setting.  Again, if you're familiar with Claire's contributions to the Inside JABA Series, you know she loves a good soapbox, and in keeping with that, she offers some great advice for the newly minted at the close of the show.  Lastly, I don't want to forget to mention that Claire is the Editor in Chief of the journal, Education and Treatment of Children, which I think we mention briefly. There's a lot of good work being published there, so check it out if you get a chance. Also, Claire has made significant contributions in the area of treatment integrity (aka procedural fidelity), and I look forward to having her back on the show for a deep dive into that important topic.  Here are links to some of the resources we mentioned: Claire's lab website  Claire's Google Scholar Page  Goldiamond (1974): Toward a constructional approach to social problems: ethical and constitutional issues raised by applied behavior analysis  More Goldiamond: A Programming Contingency Analysis of Mental Health  Layng (2009). The Search for an Effective Clinical Behavior Analysis: The Nonlinear Thinking of Israel Goldiamond  Romano, St. Peter, Milyko, Mesches, and Foreman (2021). Incorporating Curricular Revision to Treat Escape-Maintained Behavior for Children with ADHD  Mammacare  Word of the Podcast  Inside JABA 7: There's No Such Thing as a Bad Boy, with Pat Friman Friman (2021). There is no such thing as a bad boy: The Circumstances View of problem behavior  Johnston, Pennypacker, and Green: Strategies and Tactics for Behavioral Research and Practice (note: Amazon Associates link).  Session 193 is brought to you by the following: Supervision Sidekick.

American Thought Leaders- Inside Big Tech's Manipulation Machine and How to Stop It. Dr. Robert Epstein American Thought Leaders Dr. Robert Epstein: Inside Big Tech's Manipulation Machine and How to Stop It  Apr 08 2022   Sponsor special: Up to $1,500 of free silver on your first order for all American Thought Leaders listeners - Call 855-862-3377 or text “AMERICAN” to 6-5-5-3-2 “They hold in their hands the power to change thinking and behavior on a massive scale, the power—in close elections anyway—to pick the winner, in country after country after country.” I sit down with Dr. Robert Epstein, a senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology (AIBRT). He studied at Harvard University under B. F. Skinner, previously was editor-in-chief of “Psychology Today,” and founded the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies. Today, he is perhaps best known for leading studies looking at how tech giants influence human behavior, and conducting extensive monitoring projects of bias in Google products and beyond. According to his team's research, Google shifted at least 6 million votes in the 2020 elections. “All these so-called free services, these services are not free. You pay for them with your freedom,” he says. In this episode, he breaks down his team's latest findings, detailed in his report “Google's Triple Threat,” and major ways in which Big Tech companies secretly manipulate their users without leaving any paper trail. With Congress unable to come to any consensus on how to deal with Big Tech, he says he's found another way to force Big Tech to stop.

Irrespective of your values, if you're listening to this, you live in a pecking order. Dominance hierarchies, as they're called by animal behaviorists, define the lives of social creatures. The society itself is a kind of individual that gathers information and adapts to its surroundings by encoding stable environmental features in the power relationships between its members. But what works for the society at large often results in violence and inequity for its members; as the founder of this field of research put it, “A grave seriousness lies over the chicken yard.” Over the last hundred years, the science of dominance hierarchies has bloomed faster than a saloon brawl — branching out for deeper understanding of the lives of everything from fish to insects, apes to parakeets. Today, amidst clashing national and corporate titans, systemic economic inequality, and legitimacy crises in the institutions that once served to maintain (admittedly unfair) order, the time is ripe to turn to and learn from what science has discovered about the fundamental mechanisms that underly both human nature and the rest of it: who loses and who wins, and why, and at what cost?Welcome to COMPLEXITY, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute. I'm your host, Michael Garfield, and every other week we'll bring you with us for far-ranging conversations with our worldwide network of rigorous researchers developing new frameworks to explain the deepest mysteries of the universe.This week on Complexity, we speak with former ASU-SFI Fellow Elizabeth Hobson (Website | Twitter), now an Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati, about the last century of pecking order research. Dobson just co-edited an issue of Philosophical Transactions of The Royal Society B devoted to this topic, and we unpack her and others' contributions to this volume — including retrospectives, literature reviews, quantitative analysis, and a look at the current state and frontiers of the science of what we can colloquially call “punching up and down”…If you value our research and communication efforts, please subscribe to Complexity Podcast wherever you prefer to listen, rate and review us at Apple Podcasts, and/or consider making a donation at santafe.edu/give.Thank you for listening!Join our Facebook discussion group to meet like minds and talk about each episode.Podcast theme music by Mitch Mignano.Follow us on social media:Twitter • YouTube • Facebook • Instagram • LinkedInPapers & People Discussed Include:• The centennial of the pecking order: current state and future prospects for the study of dominance hierarchiesEli D.

They're Starving The Kiddies! Today's topics include: It's time for America to wake up...kids on college campuses are dropping like flies because they are hungry! How do we know? Well, Bernie Sanders tweeted it out... Next, Dr. Robert Epstein (senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, visit MyGoogleResearch.com) joins the show to discuss the recent news that Google and YouTube blocked over 300+ Trump ads on their platforms. Even though Dr. Epstein is a self-described liberal, he discusses with John why this type of censorship is worrying. And finally, Gordon Wood (professor of history emeritus at Brown University & Pulitzer-Prize winning author of "The Radicalism of the American Revolution" and “Empire of Liberty: A History of the Early Republic, 1789–1815” ) talks to John about the troubling facts the New York Times' 1619 Project got wrong about America's founding. Project 1619 is on a crusade to teach that the Revolutionary War was founded on slavery. Several high-profile historians - including Gordon - say the project is grossly twisting our nation's history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

17 years ago today... Today's topics include: ...everybody's world changed at least a little bit on that day, especially for those of the victims and their families.; We are also going to talk a lot about Google, Facebook, and Twitter today. Google, especially, has an enormous amount of power - it basically has a monopoly on the flow of information it wants you to see. Dr. Robert Epstein (American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology) joins us to discuss the new documentary, "The Creepy Line", where a lot of the material from the documentary is based on Dr. Epstein's research. "The Creepy Line" shows a shocking glimpse into the meddling done by platforms such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter. These companies are supposed to remain neutral - instead, these so-called 'neutral' platforms are secretly manipulating society and the information people have access to.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
