The behavioral perspective theory, also known as behaviorism, is a psychological approach that focuses on observable behaviors rather than internal mental processes. This theory suggests that behaviors are learned through interactions with the environment, and that people's actions can be influenced and shaped through reinforcement and punishment. According to behaviorism, behavior is primarily a result of conditioning, which can be either classical conditioning (associating stimuli with specific responses) or operant conditioning (reinforcing or punishing specific behaviors). This perspective emphasizes the importance of studying and modifying behaviors to understand and change human actions.
