Resumo: |
A new proposal for a definition of cognitive defusion, from a behavioral analytic perspective, suggests that this is a state in which an alternative repertoire has been developed, to the detriment of another in which the avoidance of stimuli that had their aversive functions acquired profoundly predominated and was related to the promotion of psychological suffering (Assaz et al, 2018). According to this hypothesis, defusion is the result of an expansion of stimulus control to nonverbal sources of control. However, a literature review showed that, although the procedures used to promote this state make extensive use of verbal control, the effects of this variable have not yet been adequately isolated by the experimental literature. The present study investigated the influence of two types of instructions on the maintenance of derived avoidance responses in a choice contingency between verbal and non-verbal contingencies. Although the manipulation of these instructions was sufficient to alter the previously predicted avoidance pattern and even produce its complete suppression for some participants, in most cases it had no effect. The instruction that described a choice contingency and accompanied it with a description of social reinforcement for behaving in accordance with it had a greater effect than the instruction that described a contingency with only natural reinforcers. We discuss an imbalance between the natural reinforcers involved in the inefficiency of the instructions in producing such effects in a greater number of participants and suggest that future research manipulate other reinforcers |
