WHAT IS BEHAVIOR

ANSWER:-Behaviour is the range of actions and mannerisms made by individuals,

organisms, systems or artificial entities in conjunction with themselves or their
environment. Which includes the other systems or organisms around as well as the physical
environment. If is response of the system or organism to various stimuli or input whether
internal or external conscious or subconscious, overt or covert and voluntary or involuntary.
The way in which an animal or person behaves in response to a particular situation or
stimulus. Behaviour means the way a person behaves toward other people. Behavioural
psychology maintains that behaviour is both conditioned and determined by its own
outcomes or consequences. Human behaviour can be understood by investigating animal
behaviour only observable and measurable aspects of a behaviour are worth
investigating ,repetition alone brings mastery which is the same as understanding
knowledge is something given by and instructor and taken by a learner ,an instructor should
focus on changing the learners behaviour patterns. Human behaviour is the term used to
describe a person's actions and conduct observing and understanding human behaviour is a
crucial part of psychology. Human behaviour is like that everything you do and say tells the
world about what's going on inside of you. Because psychologists can't observe thoughts or
emotions, behaviour has been an important part of psychology since the very beginning of
the discipline.
Behaviour is an action, activity or process which can be observed and measured. Often
these actions, activities, and processes and initiated in response to stimuli which are either
internal or external. The result of studies on these must be objective however in order to
reliable and valid for scientific purposes. Behaviour is the way a person or animal acts or
behaves. If is the way something moves functions or reacts.

Behaviour is:-

A: The manner of conducting oneself.

B: Anything that an organism does involves actions.
C: The response of an individual group.
D: The way in which someone behaves.
E: The way in which something functions

Human behaviour is believed to be influenced by the endocrine system and nervous system.
It is most commonly beloveds that complexity in the behaviour of an organism is correlated
to the nervous system. Generally, organisms with more complex nervous systems have a
greater capacity to learn new responses and thus adjust their behaviour.

Social behaviour
Social behaviour is behaviour among two or more organisms, typically from the
same species. Social behaviour is exhibited by a wide range of organisms
including social bacteria, slime moulds, social insects, social shrimp, naked mole-
rats, and humans.

Social psychology
Social psychology is the scientific study of how people's thoughts, feelings,
and behaviours are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of
others.[4] In psychology, social behaviour is referred to human behaviour. It covers
behaviours ranging from physical to emotional that we communicate in and also the
way we are influenced by ethics, attitudes, genetics and culture etc.

The types of social behaviour:

AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR
Violent and bullying behaviour are two types of aggressive behaviour, their outcomes
are extremely similar. These outcomes include affiliation, gaining attention, power
and control.[6] Aggressive behaviour is a type of social behaviour that can potentially
cause or threaten physical or emotional harm. People who suffer from aggressive
behaviour are most likely to be irritable, impulsive and restless hence why this type
of behaviour can range from verbal abuse to damaging victim property. Although, an
outburst of aggression is highly common. Aggressive behaviour on the other hand is
always deliberate, and occurs either habitually or in a pattern. The one way to handle
aggressive behaviour is to understand what the cause is, below is what can
influence aggressive behaviour.

 Family structure
 Relationships
 Work or school environment
 Health conditions
 Psychiatric issues
 Life issue

IN ADULTS
Adults can also suffer from aggressive behaviour, these can develop over time, from
undesirable life experiences or an illness. Disorders such as depression, anxiety or
post-traumatic stress disorder tend to have aggressive behaviour but this is
unintentionally exposed. However, those without any recent underlying medical or
emotional disorder, frustration is the answer to their aggressive behaviour. Emotional
behaviour can also trigger aggression when someone stops caring about others.
VIOLENT BEHAVIOUR
An individual that threatens or physically harms another individual is classified as
violent behaviour. Violent behaviour usually starts with verbal abuse but then
escalates to physical harm such as hitting or hurting.
Health behaviour refers to a person's beliefs and actions regarding their health and
well-being. Health behaviours are direct factors in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Health behaviours are influenced by the social, cultural and physical environments in
which we live and work. They are shaped by individual choices and external
constraints. Positive behaviours help promote health and prevent disease, while the
opposite is true for risk behaviours. Health behaviours are early indicators of
population health. Because of the time lag that often occurs between certain
behaviours and the development of disease, these indicators may foreshadow the
future burdens and benefits of health-risk and health-promoting behaviours. Health
behaviours do not occur in isolation—they are influenced and constrained by social
and cultural norms.

BIOLOGY
Although there is some disagreement as to how to precisely define behaviour in a
biological context, one common interpretation based on a meta-analysis of scientific
literature states that "behaviour is the internally coordinated responses (actions or
inactions) of whole living organisms (individuals or groups) to internal and/or external
stimuli.
A broader definition of behaviour, applicable to plants and other organisms, is similar
to the concept of phenotypic plasticity. It describes behaviour as a response to an
event or environment change during the course of the lifetime of an individual,
differing from other physiological or biochemical changes that occurs much rapidly,
and excluding changes that are result of development (ontogeny)
Behaviours can be either innate or learned.
Behaviour can be regarded as any action of an organism that changes its
relationship to its environment. Behaviour provides outputs from the organism to the
environment.

HUMAN BEHAVIOUR
Human behaviour is believed to be influenced by the endocrine system and
the nervous system. It is most commonly believed that complexity in the behaviour of
an organism is correlated to the complexity of its nervous system. Generally,
organisms with more complex nervous systems have a greater capacity to learn new
responses and thus adjust their behaviour.

Consumer Behaviour
Consumer behaviour refers to the processes consumers go through, and reactions
they have towards products or services. It is to do with consumption, and the
processes consumers go through around purchasing and consuming goods and
services. Consumers recognise needs or wants, and go through a process to satisfy
these needs. Consumer behaviour is the process they go through as customers,
which includes types of products purchased, amount spent, frequency of purchases
and what influences them to make the purchase decision or not. There is a lot that
influences consumer behaviour, with contributions from both internal and external
factors. Internal factors include attitudes, needs, motives, preferences and
perceptual processes, whilst external factors include marketing activities, social and
economic factors, and cultural aspects. Doctor Lars Partner of the University of
Southern California claims that there are also physical factors that influence
consumer behaviour, for example if a consumer is hungry, then this physical feeling
of hunger will influence them so that they go and purchase a sandwich to satisfy the
hunger.

ORGANIZATIONAL
In management, behaviours are associated with desired or undesired focuses.
Managers generally note what the desired outcome is, but behavioural patterns can
take over. These patterns are the reference to how often the desired behaviour
actually occurs. Before a behaviour actually occurs, antecedents focus on the stimuli
that influence the behaviour that is about to happen. After the behaviour occurs,
consequences fall into place. They can come in the form of rewards or punishments.
