"she committed suicide"

False. Both of Skinner's daughters are alive and well. In fact, the oldest daughter Deborah, speaks fondly of her childhood. Skinner did not place his daughter in the same kind of box he used for animals. It was a "box" specifically designed for a baby's comfort. I don't think much of Skinner's theories best exemplified in his book "Walden II:Beyond Freedom and Dignity", but we should get the facts straight.

I reject your truth and substitute my own!!!

I guess you can’t even trust what you learn in college anymore. We discussed this at length in psych class and I falsely assumed the professor actually told us a fact instead of getting something off the internet.
