Dear mylotters, Do anyone here know about Bahaviourism? Currently, I'm helping my friend who doing Psychology assignments; we're facing some difficulties when come to this topic. We can't really understand what's behaviourism, or positive / negative behaviours that mention in the paper... Is there any books, website that we can use / refer? Please help. Thank you.

To make it simple! Behaviorism is the act of expressing mental state and emotional feelings into an action and it can positive or negative in nature! Or it can be a Psychological study of behavior to understand the mental and emotional state of an individual or animals.

It is not the act but the theory that holds that such mental states and feelings can be reduced to and/or understood and predicted by actions alone all the best urban

Hi myzhian, Will you be able to show some examples of "positive or negative in nature"? This is the part I don't get it.

The study of animal behaviour is not what is meant by behaviourism all the best urban

Very simply behaviourism is the theory that mental concepts, events, etc. can be reduced and/or explained/predicted purely by behaviour all the best urban
