Based on research by Dr. Paul Baltes and others from the Max Planck Institute in Germany and various other trait/state psychologists, there are clues to what it takes to achieve such a label based on behavioral observation of effect. Behavior analysis knows how to arrange the conditions that surround behavior, leading to such a label being attached to what we say and do. The criteria for such behavioral patterns will be described and a perspective on why it is important for us to consider the implications of producing wisdom in the actions of our children and ourselves will be offered. This presentation will discuss the implications of wisdom and nonwisdom behaviorally on broader issues of culture.
