PHILIP HINELINE'S HOMEPAGE

Philip N. Hineline received a bachelor's of arts degree at Hamilton College, followed by a Ph.D. at Harvard University in 1967 under the guidance of R. J. Herrnstein. After a three-year position at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, he joined the psychology department at Temple University where he is now a professor. His research began with studies of avoidance, which led to a recognition of various types of behavior as affected by both long-term and short-term consequences. Some of his current research continues that theme, addressing behavioral processes that occur on extended time scales. Related research concerns choices between fixed versus variable outcomes. A second major interest concerns the characteristics of explanatory language, and its relation to particular features of the language of behavior analysis. Professor Hineline was Associate Editor (1979 - 1982) and the Editor (1983 - 1987) of the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, for which he more recently served as Review Editor (1991 - 1998). He has been President of the Association for Behavior Analysis and of Division 25 of the American Psychological Association.
