Question 1
Behaviouristic or learning theories take a scientific approach to the study of personality by
focusing on observable behaviors, responses, expectations, and thoughts. These theories
suggest that personality is acquired through the interactions between an individual and
their environment, and that behavior is shaped by both the individual and the situation.
For example, someone who is proactive, creative, and willing to take risks may exhibit
different behaviors depending on the situation they are in. This dynamic and fluctuating
nature of behavior means that personality is not as stable as some may believe, and is
continuously shaped by experiences and environmental influences over a person's
lifespan.
