A phenomenon of contemporary interest in social psychology is the social construction of knowledge-knowledge arising out of the interactions of people in communities rather than from interaction with the nonsocial environment. A behavior analysis of such social constructed knowledge is presented, based an Skinner's (1957) functional types of verbal hehavlor and the social contingencies fhat maintain them. Socially constructed knowledge occurs as intraverbals, as facts with loose discrimination, and when there are powerful social controls determining the verbal behavior in a group. The distinction between rule-governed and contingency-governed behavior shows the limits of socially constructed knowledge, whereas the social contingencies involved in minority influence and innovation show how changes can occur in community representations.
