      ab: The concept of privilege has received increased attention recently, particularly with regard to inequities in privilege in the United States costing Black Americans their lives at the hands of police officers. Despite a nearly two hundred year history, however, the concept of privilege has not been subjected to a behavioral analysis that focuses on the contextual conditions the inequities we call privilege involve. This paper is a first attempt at such a conceptual analysis, approaching privilege as a manipulable aspect of context, with inherent links to the behavioral repertoires of both privileged people and underprivileged people. Specifically, we propose that privilege involves a high proportion of appetitive to aversive stimulation in the learning environment, which subsequently impacts the relative sensitivity of the repertoire to appetitive and aversive learning opportunities. This approach is explicated, and further explored in terms of its implications, along with specific recommendations for extending the consideration of privilege beyond checking.
