Human Behaviour Archive

Welcome to the Human Behaviour article archive. You'll find articles here on the study, research and application of behaviour science principles such as Conditioning, Reinforcement, Habituation, and Goal Setting. We'll also explore the coaching aspect of performance.

Behaviour is defined by Pierce & Cheney (2017) as "everything an organism does, including overt actions like thinking, in response to a particular situation of stimulus". In other words, behaviour of human beings is determined by its consequences.

With this is mind, articles here in the Human Behaviour archive, will be focused on the behavioural aspects of performance and offer a means to better understand the reasons we behave the way we do. As such, we may discover solutions to unhelpful outcomes in work and sport.
