Post-behavioralism is a critique and evolution of the behavioral approach in political science that emerged in the late 1960s. It emphasizes the need for political science to address real-world issues, values, and the complexity of human behavior rather than solely relying on quantitative methods and empirical data. Post-behavioralists advocate for a more normative approach that incorporates ethical considerations and interdisciplinary perspectives, arguing that the discipline should contribute to social change and address pressing societal problems.
