Resumo: |
Fox & Kyonka (2017) published a study to investigate determinant variables for rule-following in which participants were instructed by a rule inaccurate with the optimal performance, using a method named diminishing-returns. Some participants maintained rule-following and the ones who did break the rule presented a “non-systematic” pattern. Authors argued that persistence on rule-following may be due: socially mediated variable (pliance) or long history of reinforcement for rule-following. None of these variables were directly manipulated. Furthermore, another relevant variable in the literature of rule-following was not mentioned: degree of discriminability of the schedule. Thus, the present experiment replicated the study of Fox & Kyonka (2017) aiming to increase discriminability of the contingency and employing Monitoring as social variable. Participants were submitted to a stage without rules, followed by a stage with an inaccurate rule (with and without monitoring). Rule-following was observed in three of the four participants as soon as rule was introduced, the effect was temporary even during Monitoring. Increasing the discriminability of the programmed schedule favored the performance closer to optimal and decreased the probability of rule-following. Results of present study were discussed in comparison with results of Fox & Kyonka (2017) |
