Course Motivation

Human behavior is one of the most pervasive, yet varied, elements of society and interpersonal relations. Whether one interacts with others electronically, or in person, whether one isolates at home, or is a social butterfly, behavior is everywhere. Even plants exhibit behavior!

One of the biggest challenges in behavior management is shaping the behavior of young children. With such a vast array of societal influences, from older children and adults in the environment, to the ubiquitous and often overwhelming electronic world of the Internet, today's children face challenges that those who grew up in pre-computer decades did not. The prolific availability of violent and possibly destructive influences are everywhere, and despite our best efforts, it is not only impossible, but inadvisable, to isolate children from anything and everything that may harm them. Fortunately, there are scientific techniques one can use to not only manage the behavior of children, but to teach them ways of relating to the world that involve personal responsibility, self-control, and acceptance of consequences for actions. The name of this science is behaviorism.

What is behaviorism?

In order to define behaviorism, we must first define the term behavior. Basically, behavior is defined as any organism's response to a stimulus or stimuli in its environment. This definition encompasses everything from the reflexive feeding motions of deep-sea creatures as microscopic plankton float by, (innate behavior,also called unlearned behavior), to the driver of a car slamming on his brakes because the light suddenly turned red (learned behavior). Every living thing, when acted upon by any stimulus, will exhibit behavior.
