Abstract

This article focuses on the behaviorizing methods and event of everyday life. The nature of the gulp and the relationship between the two orders must be clarified in the interest of a potentially unified study of social interaction. The methodogenic ontology of behavioristic operationalism has no place in the primary experiences of everyday life. When the data field of face-to-face interaction is formulated through behaviorizing methods, a new order of events is produced that stands over and against the order of events of everyday life. The methodogenic ontology of behavioristic operationalism has no place for the primary experiences of everyday life. Perhaps nowhere is the incompatibility between behavior. The prominence of behavioristic operationalism in academic psychology and biology has all but silenced descriptions and analyses of the world as it is known with one's subjects, be they animal or human.
