Frequently Asked Questions
The content on this site provides information about the natural science of behavior, often called behaviorology, so the content is neither a part of, nor any kind of, psychology.
Yes, you are encouraged to interact and leave comments. There is a form at the end of each article that allows commenting. You may also share the columns on social media for additional interaction opportunities.
You are welcome to share the link to this site, along with the PDFs of the columns and their graphics. Doing so benefits everyone, because some scientific knowledge of behavior then becomes more widely available to help solve the personal, local, and global problems that behavior helps cause. Please include a link back to the original article(s) for reference as these materials are copyrighted.
The author personally funds this website as part of a contribution to helping solve global problems. Of course funding assistance to support the science described in the columns is welcome as it helps the effort to grow. Send tax–deductible contributions for these efforts to The International Behaviorology Institute (TIBI, a 501–c–3 professional organization without paid staff). See their behaviorology.org website for details.
Reading these columns in their original order builds the most information, because earlier columns lay the foundation for enjoying and making sense of later columns.
BehaviorInfo.com provides access to some short articles about behavior, human behavior, your behavior and my behavior. The sets of articles originally appeared as newspaper columns by Dr. Stephen Ledoux, and so retain their original copyright lines. However, through BehaviorInfo.com these columns are easier to find, and can be shared more widely. Permission to share individual, whole, unchanged columns that are source–referenced to BehaviorInfo.com, with individuals, is automatically given.
We neither sell any information that you provide nor use it for any other purpose except the one for which you provided it (e.g., to exchange questions and comments with the author).
Most of the images used on this site were taken by the author, Stephen F. Ledoux.
Providing articles on the natural science of human behavior via this website makes your access free, not because the articles have little value but because humanity is running out of time to get to know more about this relatively young (at just over 100 years) natural science. Human behavior causes global problems and changes in human behavior help solve these problems. So, to support our ongoing civilized survival, humanity needs as many people as possible knowing more about behavior and its causes.
