Understand the behaviorist perspective: Behaviorism focuses on observable behaviors rather than internal states like thoughts and emotions. It emphasizes the role of environmental factors in shaping behavior.
Identify the key concept: In behaviorism, personality is viewed as a collection of learned behaviors or habits that are acquired through interaction with the environment.
Differentiate between the options: Consider how each option (traits, genes, habits, experiences) aligns with the behaviorist view. Behaviorists typically do not focus on traits or genes, as these are seen as internal or biological factors.
Focus on habits: Behaviorists believe that habits are formed through conditioning processes, such as classical and operant conditioning, where behaviors are learned and reinforced over time.
Conclude with the behaviorist definition: Based on the behaviorist perspective, personality is best understood as a set of habits, which are learned responses to environmental stimuli.
