"Behaviorism is an approach to the study of behavior that assumes it

mustbe possible, in principle, to secure a full, lawful explanation of

behavior, including verbal behavior in humans, in terms of present and

past behavioral, physiological, and environmental variables, in ways that do not require mention of the mental."

Basically behaviorism says that humans are automatons whose only reason for doing anything is for their own pleasure and survival - Darwin's theory of evolution on an individual instead of a species level.

If the behaviorists are correct, and humans are merely automatons, why

do you think you maintain an online diary?

I would love it if you would respond. Thank you.
