Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is behaviorism.

Explanation:

Behaviorism is an approach to psychology that intends to understand human and animal behaviour. The theories state that behavior can be predicted and controlled through the environment, and that there is no place for introspection and subjective interpretations.

The key element of behaviorism is that individuals act according to positive or negative reinforcements of their actions. In other words, rewards and punishments.
