Interpersonal and Group Contingencies.

Responding by individuals in groups has been a prominent interest of the field of psychology. Experimental analyses of human behavior have provided some unique findings of the role that the environment, including both social and nonsocial stimuli, may have on individual responding. Cooperative and competitive contingencies, previously evaluated in animal and human operant research, provide unique insight into applied interventions, in particular group contingencies. The current manuscript attempts to bridge these two literatures to foster the development of more effective technologies and lines of experimental or translational research that may better inform interventions in the applied realm. © Association for Behavior Analysis International 2020.
