| Sumario: | According to the behavior-analytic approach, attitudes can be viewed as responses emitted based ona previous learning history. Stimulus equivalence paradigm, using procedures that simulatesymbolic behavior in the laboratory, has made possible to understand attitude formation as arbitraryrelational networks between stimulus classes and evaluative attributes. This view has enabledunderstanding how social phenomena, such as prejudices and stereotypes, can be established andchanged. The aim of this research is to present contributions, from empirical evidence demonstratedby stimulus equivalence research carried out in the last decades, especially from the 1 990’s, thatstrengthen this paradigm as an important behavioral model for studying attitudes. |
