Our behavior has an impact on our [[human experience]] and the experience of those who interact with us. Over time our social behavior manifests into a [[social order]], which can then influence and impact our behavior. Broadly, human behavior has the goal of either [[human survival]] (in the short term) or [[human advancement]] (in the long term). The influences on human behavior are many and the study of these influences takes up a large part of [[Neuroscience]], [[sociology]], [[anthropology]], [[Psychology]], [[Politics]] and play a significant part in every other science. > [!wikipedia] [human behavior](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human%20behavior) > > Human behavior is the potential and expressed capacity (mentally, physically, and socially) of human individuals or groups to respond to internal and external stimuli throughout their life. > > In:: [[sociology]], > behavior may broadly refer to all basic human actions, including those that possess no meaning—actions directed at no person. Behavior in this general sense should not be mistaken with [[social behavior]]. Social behavior, a subset of human behavior that accounts for actions directed at others, is concerned with the considerable influence of [[social behavior]] and [[Culture]], as well as [[ethics]], social environment, authority, [[persuasion]], and [[coercion]]. > [!wikipedia]- What effects behavior? > > While specific traits of one's personality, temperament, and genetics may be more consistent, other behaviors change as one moves between life stages—i.e., from birth through adolescence, adulthood, and, for example, parenthood and retirement. > > Behavior is also driven, in part, by thoughts and feelings, which provide insight into individual psyche, revealing such things as attitudes and values. Human behavior is shaped by psychological traits, as personality types vary from person to person, producing different actions and behavior. > > [!wikipedia]- How do we view behavior? > > The behavior of humans (just as of other organisms) falls upon a spectrum, whereby some behaviors are common while others unusual, and some are acceptable while others beyond acceptable limits. The acceptability of behavior depends heavily upon [[social norms]] and is regulated by various means of [[social control]], partly due to the inherently conformist nature of human [[society]] in general. > > #### Outline - How do we behave with negative stimuli? - [[Avoidance IS the most-efficient way of dealing with emotion]] - [[Human's have an inability to admit that they are wrong]] ##### ^dataviews > [!dataview]+ Related unlinked notes > > - [[Biological processes can only give context to behavior not predict it]] > - [[Children will not question what is modeled for them unless they are taught to]] > - [[Communication provides the opportunity to shape other's perceptions]] > - [[Complex emotions are imperfect understandings of primal urges]] > - [[Cultural evolution is not confined to the slow process of genetic evolution]] > - [[Evolutionary Psychology is just a framework not a prescription of behavior]] > - [[Gender segregation increases gendered play]] > - [[Human behavior is selective]] > - [[Human's will find explanations for inexplainable things]] > - [[Humans have decided to take advantage of an unjust world]] > - [[Humans love to group eachother]] > - [[Intentionality is not separate from functionality]] > - [[Look for understanding before you look for solutions]] > - [[Motivation and obsession are indistinguishable to an outside perspective]] > - [[Negative influences impact us more than positive influences]] > - [[Our authority figures curate and reinforce what we are allowed to imitate]] > - [[Our ego defends every belief we hold conscious or subconscious]] > - [[Rationalizations are defense-mechanisms against strong emotions]] > - [[Religion as a rational bid for supernatural reward]] > - [[Religious concepts are often too powerful for a child's mind]] > - [[Stereotypes are social constructs]] > - [[Symbolism increases human's capacity for cooperation]] > - [[There is a limit to the size of a group ordered purely by personal communication]] > - [[Triggers activate stored emotional responses for certain situations]] > - [[What enables large scale social order]] > - [[What is the origin of religion]] > - [[Why do humans have such a high capacity for cognitive dissonance]] > - [[Wonder motivates us to interact with the world around us]] > - [[Worldviews should be open ended and adaptive]] > - [[Yoga is a wholistic philosophy of self-improvement]] > - [[Your anxiety knows your insecurities better than you do]] > [!dataview]- Other unlinked mentions > > - [[Darwin's Cathedral by David Sloan Wilson]] > - [[notes - Different Meditative Styles]] > - [[Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari]] > - [[topics]] > - [[understanding]] > - [[Association Cortices]] > - [[Emotional Mirroring]] > - [[Frontal Lobe]] > - [[GAD]] > - [[Hierarchy of needs]] > - [[Kundalini Yoga]] > - [[Observational learning]] > - [[Sangha]] > - [[behavior]] > - [[community]] > - [[deindividuation]] > - [[emotional attachment]] > - [[functionalism]] > - [[gender schema]] > - [[human evolution]] > - [[47 Humanity]] > - [[Anxiety stems from a lack of confidence for the future]] > - [[Evolutionary Psychology]] > - [[Experts are often far too confident in the effectiveness of their theories]] > - [[Gender is a social construct]] > - [[Highly integrated social control allows groups to act as adaptive units]] > - [[Humans are a product of evolution]] > - [[Medical treatment should be wholistic not prescriptive]] > - [[Most problems cannot be significantly understood through a single framework]] > - [[Our understanding of gender begins at a very early age]] > - [[Social order is built off of a shared belief in an imagined reality]]
