Hello To, All My Readers Followers and Blogging Friends ❤

I hope all of you are keeping well. Today I thought of writing about Psychology of Behavior and hope I can write a good article 🙂

It is tricky to work out what exactly behaviour means, but simply put it is the actions we do everyday. Everything we do is a “behaviour”. 

What is Behavioral Psychology?

Let’s define behavioral psychology. Behavioral psychology is the study of the connection between our minds and our behavior. Sometimes you will hear behavioral psychology referred to as behaviorism. The researchers and scientists who study behavioral psychology are trying to understand why we behave the way we do and they are concerned with discovering patterns in our actions and behaviors. The hope is that if we can use behavioral psychology to help us tell before (predict) how people will behave, we can build better habits as individuals, create better products as companies, and develop better living spaces as communities.

Three Ways to Use Behavioral Psychology Right Now

• How Long Does it Actually Take to Form a New Habit?
• The 5 Triggers That Make New Habits Stick
• Habit Stacking: How to Build New Habits by Taking Advantage of Old Ones

Behaviours are actions, which when repeated, become habits.  These habits can eventually become automatized.  Gradually a single action can build, becoming a pattern of behaviour, developing neural pathways, becoming an automatic series of actions which once established, requires little cognitive effort to be maintained.  While initially establishing or changing a habit requires a lot of cognitive energy to alter a pattern of behaviour; once the series of actions is established and becomes automatised, little cognitive energy is required for maintenance.

It can take a considerable effort at the beginning – with commitment and persistence throughout – to change a specific action or pattern of behaviours.  There may need to be a significant impetus or motivation to provide a reason for change; to create sufficient determination for a new pattern of behaviour to be created; to be reinforced for long enough to become an established new habit.  Once this new habit no longer requires conscious thought, but is automatically implemented, cognitive thought and effort is no longer required for the new behaviour or habit to occur.

Breaking a habit down to the smallest behaviour can make it easier to change a single action.  A series of individual actions together form a habit, and it is this habit that may need changing.  By making it clear why a habit should be changed and clarifying the explicit reason for the change, this engages the thought process that proceeds any conscious change; however, for this change to occur, action must be accompanied by a strong, persistent motivation.  Consistent, conscious effort will be required to implement these changed actions.

It seems that several actions link together to form patterns of behaviour and these become habits – as Churchill said. Mahatma Gandhi expanded on Churchill’s concept when he stated: “… Your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.”  The direct link between actions, habits, values and destiny is important.  The Greek philosopher, Aristotle, said “We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” Once again, this links actions, the establishment of habits and values. The interaction and reciprocal dynamic are “We first make our habits and then our habits make us”, referring to the neural pathways that shape the behavioural habit formation – whether these are positive or negative habits.  Actions, patterns of behaviour, habit formation – these all have a role in what we regularly do and who we become as a result of what we do.

What are the 4 Types of Behavior?

• Physical Actions – What I Do.
• Non-Verbal Actions-How I Do It.
• Language – What I Say.
• Vocal Delivery – How I Say It.
  
  knowledge doesn’t necessarily translate into better behavior. The first step in changing behavior is understanding which behavior we want to change. This seems obvious. Simple. However, it’s important to prioritize. We often think about the goals we want, but not about the details of how we’re going to get there.

To summarize, when you want to encourage or discourage certain behavior in someone, you should point the norm toward the desired behavior.
