Whose book described a utopian society in which socially desirable behaviors would be maintained through behaviorist training techniques? a) john b. watson b) b. f. skinner c) edward tolman d) clark hull

B) B. F. Skinner

Explanation:

In 1948, B. F. Skinner, a behavioral psychologist, published his novel Walden Two. In his novel, Skinner describes a Utopian community, called "Walden Two," that is entirely ruled by operant conditioning - a learning method in which punishments and rewards are used.

This society is around one-thousand people and is governed by behavioral principles. They all seem to be quite happy with their lifestyles. Here, people tend to work for an average of four hours a day and are not paid with money, as it does not have a value in Walden Two. Everything here is experimental and people are "trained" or "conditioned" since childhood to reach efficiency and improvement.
