Behavioral Perspective

Behavioral Perspective

The Behavioral Perspective is the view of the psychological aspect of Behavior. This perspective points out the study of measurable, observable behavior and the way in which the environment determines behavior. Included in this perspective is the nature of man, determinism, and the possibility of change.

In this theory a baby is born with no knowledge and their knowledge draws from their environment and experience. Here, Behaviorist B.F. Skinner reiterates his believe in this concept by saying: “ So far as I know, my behavior at any given moment has been nothing more than the product of my genetic endowment, my personal history, and the current setting.” As Skinner puts it, this theory of “Tabula Rasa” is the belief that people are a product of their environments. This concept also brought forth the famous quote about conditioning from John Watson who said “Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in, and I’ll guarantee to take anyone at random and train him [her] to become any type
