Resumen
En este trabajo se revisa el tema de la moralidad. Se parte de un panorama general acerca de cómo la han abordado las aproximaciones psicoanalítica, cognoscitiva y conductual. Se señalan las principales deficiencias y limitaciones encontradas en tales abordajes y se propone una nueva forma para su análisis. Dicha forma consiste en una aproximación interconductual para lo que se concibe como la dimensión moral de la conducta. Se fundamenta directamente en el análisis contingencial, que es un sistema para el análisis y cambio del comportamiento humano individual que contiene, entre otras, dos dimensiones: el sistema microcontingencial y el sistema macrocontingencial, que son las que permiten articular en el plano psicológico el estudio de los factores micro y macrosociales que regulan el comportamiento individual. Dicha forma de análisis se sugiere como alternativa a las limitaciones de otras aproximaciones. Morality has been studied by psychology through three different theories: psychoanalysis, cognitivism and behaviorism. Each one has focused on separate issues that are only features of the problem. Thus, psychoanalysis investigates disciplinal)' techniques that parents use to teach children moral behavior, concluding that the best are those which arouse internal controlling responses as guilt or self criticism Cognitive theory studies the way children develop moral judgments, and the main interest is related to the criteria they use to judge the behavior of other people. Behavior theory focuses mainly on the consequences of moral or in moral responses, so the different parameters of stimuli and their effect to behavior become the purpose of investigations. The three approaches have limitations related, to one hand, to the dualistic basis of their theories, and on the other, to the lacking of principles and concepts that lead to a delimitation of the psychological dimension of a complex behavioral process where social conventions are basic. For these reasons this paper presents an alternative approach to the moral dimension of behavior. This is based on the inter behavioral theory, especially on an inter behavioral applied system for the analysis and change of individual human behavior: cotangential analysis. This system includes two dimensions: the microcontingential system and the macrocontingential system.
