Behavior

behavior is one of the most prevalent problems in schools and presents a challenge for students’
social, emotional, and academic development (Duesund, 2014; Hogan & Quay, 1999; Jessor,
Donovan, & Costa, 1991)

Behavior
behavior is essentially observable physical activity: a pigeon pecks a disk, a woman says “hello,”
a student raises his hand, and so forth. Comparable definitions may be found in The Oxford
Dictionary of Psychology (Colman, 2006), and in King (2008) and Levitis, Lidicker, and
Freunda (2009).

Behaviorism
It has sometimes been said that “behave is what organisms do.” Behaviorism is built on this
assumption, and its goal is to promote the scientific study of behavior. The behavior, in
particular, of individual organisms. Not of social groups. Not of cultures. But of persons and
animals.
