| Popis: | Behavior technologies provide systematic techniques for changing people's behavior. For the most part, these changes are accomplished by controlling people's responses. This article presents evidence that behavior technology reduces the perceived autonomy of persons subject to its influence. Such perceptions, in turn, inadvertently cause controllers and users of behavior technology to evaluate persons subject to the technology's influence less favorably. Research from field and laboratory studies in such diverse areas as leadership training, attitude change, psychotherapy, and the routinization of work provides evidence in support of this view. Theoretical and ethical implications of these findings are discussed. |
