Yes, the richness and complexity of human behavior can be explained by the accumulation of various instances of learning throughout a person's life. These instances of learning shape individuals' beliefs, attitudes, values, and behaviors, contributing to the diversity and intricacy of human behavior.

What is an unconditioned behavior?

An unconditioned behavior is one that has not been reinforced, positively or negatively, by an outside source. For instance, an unconditioned behavior is one that occurs because it exists naturally, i.e a baby crying because it is hungry. It will not continue as a true behavior if it is not reinforced. Reinforcement can occur either negatively (you get hurt for doing it, for instance) or positively (something that feels good). Either way, an unconditioned behavior will only continue (and becomes a conditioned behavior) if it creates some kind of response. Here's an example: A child cries because s/he fell and skinned his/her knee. The parent ignores the cries of the child. The other parent oohs and aahs over the kid. Over time, if the cries get no response, the child will not cry when s/he falls and skins his/her knees. If there is a response from the parent, the child will continue to cry about minor injuries.


What is a social norm?

A social norm is a commonly accepted behavior or practice within a society that guides and regulates interactions among individuals. They are unwritten rules that shape how people are expected to behave in various social situations.


What is the difference between skinner and bandura?

Skinner emphasized the consequences on behavior and how these influence peoples actions and behaviors. For instance, if a person has a bad experience after performing a certain behavior, they are less likely to do it again. Bandura however focused on how watching and imitating (known as modeling) influenced actions and behavior. For example, the child who watches their parents fight may be more prone to violence in school.


What is an example of fixation in psychology?

Ask: What is it about my behavior -- state specific instance - that makes you feel uncomfortable? If your partner states a specific instance, suggest that you will change your behavior - and this must always be a tit-for-tat - if your partner will also change some behavior that you object to. All accomodations must be mutual.


Can criminal behavior be explained by a medical condition?

Generally speaking, no. Criminalistic attitudes are developed over time and criminal behavior is a manifestation of that (a persistent disregard for societal norms and standards). However, uncharacteristic aggression and a loosening of inhibitions can occur when a person has frontal lobe brain damage (due to an accident and/or dementia). This may lead to criminally violent behavior. Additionally, drugs of abuse like methamphetamine, PCP, and anabolic steroids often lead to uncharacteristic aggression as well. Finally, a hormonal imbalance (hyperthyroid, for instance) could lead to excessively anxious and possibly even aggressive behavior. That being said, none of these conditions would mitigate guilt in a court of law.

Can you have more than one identity?

Yes, individuals can have multiple identities, often shaped by different roles, experiences, and contexts. For instance, a person may identify as a parent, a professional, a friend, and a member of a specific community, with each identity influencing their behavior and interactions. These identities can coexist and interact, reflecting the complexity of human experience. Additionally, cultural, social, and personal factors can contribute to the development of diverse identities over time.
