(In) sensitivity to some or other contingencies in the framework of behavior governed by rules

Currently, the psychology of language is becoming increasingly important, both at a theoretical level, and mainly at a practical or applied level. In this exciting area of ??study, the so-called Functional Analysis of Verbal Conduct is achieving truly spectacular achievements with research topics such as equivalence relationships, Say-Do-Say correspondence or the phenomenon known as (In) sensitivity to contingencies direct

In this volume, some of the main aspects of (in) sensitivity to contingencies are exposed: beginning with a brief review of the literature on the subject, an introduction to the concept of rule and behavior governed by rules as prerequisites for understanding the question, and a brief presentation of the Theory of Relational Frames, one of the theories that have best addressed the study of (in) sessibilty, go on to expose the main characteristics of the topic, as well as the methodology with which He has addressed it, to end up suggesting some of the practical applications that the study of (in) sensitivity to contingencies can provide in areas supposedly so far removed from the field of language, such as personality, motivation or self-control.

In short, it is a simple and short text with which the authors try to introduce both the advanced psychologist and the student who begins his academic career, in the knowledge of one of the most current topics of research in psychology.
