Considers that basic motivational procedures are 2-organism procedures in which an organism is observed and judged by a 2nd organism which then acts on the 1st. The transfer of supervision to superstition, religion, conscience, peers, and spouse in adulthood is discussed. Difficulties in obtaining data on the functioning of external contingencies in the ecology are noted. One-organism or self-control is discussed as based on self-denial as well as self-reward. A 2-stage procedure by which an organism learns the self-denial which makes self-reward possible is outlined:(a) attachment to the mother and (b) judgments of the S's responses as good or bad with different outcomes. Transfer occurs with rule learning of those responses which reduce negative consequences (eg, withdrawal of the mother or electric shock). Moral systems are regarded as an example of rule induction of motivations. Data from a series of experiments with rats are presented with supporting data from studies with monkeys and man. Problems in generalizing from studies with rats are noted, but it is suggested that, if socialization can be proved in rats, the process must be real.(21 ref.)(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
