If you adopt the behaviorist perspective, you'll reject an emphasis on what goes on in people's minds in favor of focusing on behaviors that can be measured objectively. Behaviorism, a psychological theory developed by B.F. Skinner and John B. Watson, emphasizes studying observable behaviors rather than internal mental processes. From this perspective, behavior is considered to be a result of conditioning and learning experiences, and the focus is on understanding how external factors, like the environment and reinforcement, shape behavior. By disregarding internal mental states, behaviorists aim to study behavior that can be objectively observed and measured.
