This book is a guide to doing a new kind of psychological research
that focuses on the purposes rather than the causes of behavior.
The research methods described here are based on a theory of
behaviour called Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) that views
organisms as purposeful rather than mechanical systems. According
to PCT, purposeful behaviour involves acting to control perceptual
input variables. Thus, understanding the purposeful behaviour of
living organisms is a matter of determining the perceptual
variables they are controlling when they are carrying out various
behaviors. This book outlines research methods that determine what
perceptual variables an organism is controlling, how it controls
those variables, and why. It also describes methods for studying
how an organism develops the ability to control different
perceptions and how consciousness might be involved in this
process.
