Within the past few years the value-neutrality of psychological science has been challenged. Among the various systems of psychology behaviorism is most strongly committed to the value-free ideal. Among the major behaviorists two are well known for upholding the fact-value distinction: John B. Watson and B. F. Skinner. The present study applies a phenomenologically-based method of value analysis to a representative sample of the professional works and to the available autobiographical and biographical material on and by Watson and Skinner and demonstrates that an intimate tie exists between the personal and professional values of these two behaviorists. These values are further related to the socio-cultural values of the times. For example, among other things the results show that both in their personal lives and professional works Watson and Skinner valued action, the propriety of external behavior, manual and technical skill, the natural science way of thinking and living, control-motivated practicality, and the work ethic of a particular status quo and they devalued the metaphorical language of invisibles, the life of the emotions, empathy-motivated interpersonal relations, religious moralism, and speculative reflection. Upon further analysis it was disclosed that four bipolar metavalues were common to the lives and works of Watson and Skinner and were reflective of the socio-cultural setting. These were: natural vs. transnatural, practical vs. affective, distant vs. empathic and active vs. reflective. That is, to the degree that Watson and Skinner valued that which is nature-like, practical, objective, and action-oriented to that extent they disvalued that which is transnatural, affective, empathic, and speculative. Thus, this study challenges the value-neutrality of the behaviorisms of Watson and Skinner and cautions that more attention ought to be paid to the role of values in the development of psychological systems.Subjects--Topical Terms:
