 The title of this video is not Skinner's Self-Management, however you might be able to interpret it as such if you pay close attention. There are two terms in this video, one is the controlled response, one is the controlling response. The controlled response is the response that you want to control through the controlling response. This is what self-management is all about. You emit a response, controlling response, in order to control another response, a controlled response. If I was trying to quit smoking, I want to reduce that, because I have a behavioral excess, and there's another term we should define later. I have a behavioral excess, we need to get rid of it, so we need to decrease smoking, so I'm smoking. I need to engage in a controlling response to decrease this controlled response. So what could I do? I could break my cigarette. That's good! Or I could hit myself on the head. Ah! That hurt! I should put my cigarettes down. Or I should just not go by them. The controlling response is the response that you need to learn in order to control the behavior that is the problem. There's a little trick here, though. It's a pain in the ass to learn how to do controlling responses. And there's a whole bunch of problems with this, and self-management is very, very challenging. But we need to know what the two core components that Skinner talked about are with regard to self-management, which was the controlling response, one that you emit to control a particular behavior. You control the problem behavior. That's what we're after. So it sounds like there's a lack of control. Pretty much.
