Human Behavior
Test Questions
Course Introduction
This course explores the complex factors that shape human behavior, drawing from foundational theories in psychology, sociology, and anthropology. Students examine the biological, cognitive, emotional, and social influences that guide individual and group actions. Topics include personality development, motivation, socialization, perception, learning, and the impact of culture and environment on behavior. Through case studies, discussions, and research reviews, the course encourages critical analysis of why people behave the way they do and how understanding human behavior can inform decision-making in personal, professional, and societal contexts.
