• Resumen

  • Los análisis conductuales contextuales contemporáneos tienen una forma de teorizar algo distinta a la común en la mayoría de la psicología. En su formulación de una ciencia natural de la conducta, teóricos tales como J.R. Kantor y B.F. Skinner rechazaron el empleo de ciertas variedades de contructos teóricos. En este artículo se dividen los constructos teóricos en formulaciones "abstractivas" e hipotéticas. Posteriormente, los constructos hipotéticos se subdivididen en tres subtipos que incluyen los constructos que son (1) en principio observables, pero en algún otro nivel de análisis, (2) en principio inobservables, y (3) en principio observables, pero inobservables por razones técnicas o prácticas. Se establece una distinción entre validez ontológica y operacional de los constructos teóricos y se discuten los métodos para determinar la validez operacional de estos constructos. Finalmente, se discuten los efectos de la experimentación y la observación sobre el desarrollo de las teorías.
