Abstract:
The present study undertook an updated citation analysis of Skinner's
(1957) Verbal Behavior. All articles that cited Verbal Behavior between
1984 and 2004 were recorded and content analyzed into one of five
categories; four empirical and one nonempirical. Of the empirical
categories, studies that employed a verbal operant from Skinner's analysis
were assigned to either basic, applied, or observational categories.
Empirical studies that did not employ a verbal operant were categorized as
other-empirical. The total number of citations remained stable across the
review period and averaged just over 52 per year. Of these, 80% were from
nonempirical articles, 13.7% were from other-empirical articles, 4% were
from applied articles, 1.4% were from basic articles, and 0.9% were from
observational articles. An "obliteration" analysis was also conducted to
identify articles that employed Skinner's verbal operant terms but did not
cite Verbal Behavior. This analysis identified 44 additional articles,
suggesting that a degree of obliteration had occurred in the half century
since the publication of Verbal Behavior. In particular, the analysis
suggests that the verbal operant of manding has sufficient presence in the
applied empirical literature to render citation of Verbal Behavior
redundant. Overall, Verbal Behavior continues to make an important
contribution to the psychological literature.
