Behaviorist perspective believes in directly observable behavior and strongly focuses on how the environment and reinforcer (reward and punishment) have an impact on peoples behavior.

Humanistic perspective believe that we should focus on our conscious experiences and strongly believe in human reaching their full potential. Humanistic tend to disagree with behaviorist as far as the manner goes of studying observable behavior and Humanistic perspective believes even if it can not be directly observed it should still be focused on.
