Behavior

Behavior refers to an individual’s actions, reactions and conduct in response to stimuli or circumstances; including verbal and nonverbal expressions of feelings, decision making processes and interactions with other people. It includes both external and internal behaviors; including verbalizations such as verbalizing oneself verbally as well as emoting verbally through actions like writing down one’s feelings verbatim on paper versus on social networks etc.
Here are a few key aspects of behavior:

• 
  Actions and Reactions: Behavior can be broadly defined as the observed actions and reactions by individuals across various contexts, including how people act upon stimuli such as tasks being completed on time, expressing emotions openly or reacting appropriately in certain situations.
  
• 
  Decision-making: Decision-making is an activity in which individuals make choices based on their thoughts, values and beliefs. Decisions may range from basic daily choices to longer-term impacts with profound ramifications.
  
• 
  Interact with Others: Interaction between individuals covers how they connect in personal, social and professional environments – this may involve communication styles, collaboration agreements, conflicts resolution strategies or any form of relationship formation between two people.
  
• 
  Emotional Expressions: Behavior is one way for individuals to communicate and manage their emotions, including verbal and nonverbal signals like body language, facial expressions and tone of voice.
  
• 
  Conformance to rules and norms: Behavior requires adhering to rules, regulations, social norms and social codes that affect behavior; this may involve adhering to society norms, laws, ethical codes or organizational policies.
  
• 
  Internal Processes: “Behavior” refers not only to an individual’s external actions, but also their inner processes such as beliefs and attitudes that guide mental processes as well as thoughts that guide actions taken – including thinking patterns, motivation and self-regulation.
  
• 
  Adaptability: Adaptability refers to an ability to respond well in unfamiliar circumstances and environments, and adapt to rapidly-evolved circumstances. It requires openness of mind, flexibility and an agile response when responding to changing environments or circumstances.
  

Behavior can be affected by multiple influences, including personality traits, beliefs, cultural norms and past experiences. Behavior may be intentional or unconscious and voluntary or involuntary – its purpose being the development of character as well as building relationships and contributing to overall dynamics within social, professional and personal contexts.
Understanding and examining someone’s behavior is an excellent way of gaining insights into their attitudes, motives and response patterns – providing opportunity for self-reflection, personal growth and the emergence of constructive or positive behavioral patterns in others. By understanding another’s behavior in interpersonal or social situations effectively communication occurs more efficiently as empathy develops into collaboration allowing effective communications, empathy building and cooperation to occur more naturally and collaboratively than otherwise possible.
