behavioral personality theories  

Definición

  • Traditional models of behaviorism, represented by figures like John B. Watson and B. F Skinner, are typically considered inconsistent with the concept of “personality,” which itself represents an unobservable construct. Such “radical” behavioral approaches emphasized the study of observable behavior, and thus any theory of personality was restricted to typical patterns of behavior exhibited by a particular individual based on his or her reinforcement history.
