From the beginning of recorded time human beings have assigned blame to persons who misbehave. The first prominent person to make an alternative case was Father Edward J. Flanagan, the founder of Boys Town, who proclaimed there was “no such thing as a bad boy, only bad environment, bad modeling, and bad teaching” (Oursler & Oursler, 1949, p. 7) in other words, bad circumstances. This paper will refer to this perspective as the Circumstances View of problem behavior and anchor it as the foundational idea for the field of behavior analysis. This paper will discuss the origins of the Circumstances View, the benefits that result from its adoption, reasons why its adoption is not more widespread, and suggestions for disseminating it more widely.

世上没有坏孩子：问题行为的情境观

从有记载的时间开始，人类就将责任归咎于行为不端的人。第一个提出替代案例的杰出人物是男孩城的创始人爱德华·J·弗拉纳根神父，他宣称“没有坏孩子，只有糟糕的环境、糟糕的造型和糟糕的教学”（Oursler & Oursler , 1949, p. 7) 换句话说，就是糟糕的情况。本文将把这种观点称为问题行为的情境观，并将其作为行为分析领域的基本思想。本文将讨论环境观的起源、采用它的好处、采用它的原因没有更广泛，以及更广泛传播它的建议。
