预防分类系统的目的是什么?从功能语境主义者的角度来看(Biglan and Hayes 1996; Hayes et al. 2012),人们希望该系统有助于精确、广泛和深度地预测和影响行为(Biglan and Hayes 1996; Hayes et al. 2012)。当我们能够使用有限数量的概念来明确地应用于一种现象或其背景时,我们就能准确地预测和影响这种现象。当我们的分析适用于广泛的现象时,它们的范围是广泛的。当一个分析与其他层次的分析相一致时,它就有了深度,例如,对环境对行为影响的分析与对介导这些行为影响的生物过程的分析相一致。在这个意义上,说一个分类系统是功能性的,意味着它有助于预测和影响。
What is the purpose of a taxonomic system for prevention? From a functional contextualist’s perspective (Biglan and Hayes 1996; Hayes et al. 2012), one would hope that the system contributes to the prediction and influence of behavior with precision, scope, and depth (Biglan and Hayes 1996; Hayes et al. 2012). We precisely predict and influence a phenomenon when we can use a limited number of concepts that unambiguously apply to the phenomenon or its context. Our analyses are broad in scope when they apply to a wide range of phenomena. An analysis has depth when it coheres with analyses at other levels, such as an analysis of the environmental influences on behavior that is consistent with an analysis of the biological processes that mediate these influences on behavior. In this sense, to say that a taxonomic system is functional implies that it contributes to prediction and influence.
