Behavior Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

Q1.According to DuBrin (2012), S4 leadership style requires a leader to use low relationship and low task behavior in response to followers who are able, willing, and confident to perform any task. When a leader has been dealing with a follower appropriately by using an S4 leadership style and the follower begins performing at performance readiness level R3, it means that the follower was still learning new tasks or the tasks provided were beyond his or her ability. The follower can also have the ability to do the task but is unwilling to do it. Readiness level 3 is where ...

Health psychology is a fast-growing sub-discipline of psychology that borders on what causes illness and how to such illness is treated. Noticeably, healthy psychology shifts the responsibility of disease prevention to individuals arguing that diseases such as HIV/AIDS are caused by certain personal behaviors (Murphy, 2010). In addition, health psychology disregards a simple linear model of health and examines the combination of factors involved in illness- social, biological (e.g. a virus) or psychological(e.g. beliefs and behaviors). Because the illness is caused through a combination of many factors, the individual is never seen as a passive victim of some external disease causative agents such ...

- After Bob and Carol bought a video game console for their child, Greg, they began to notice a change in his behavior. When they could pry him away from games for dinner, he would be verbally abusive at the table. He would also punch walls in frustration, and even kicked over a glass table in the house. Bob and Carol blame video games for Greg’s violent behavior.The following conclusion suffers from which type of fallacy?This fallacy found in this case can be said to be a correlation implies causation fallacy otherwise known as Cum Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc this is because ...

The article is health fitness informative and addresses based on research evidence the risks associated with long hours sitting behaviors. The article warns of the various diseases and mortality risk that are associated with spending most of wake time in sitting usually termed as sedentary behavior. Health professionals have been advancing for the importance of cardiovascular exercise against sedentary behavior. Researchers have strong evidence on the role of moderate to vigorous physical exercise in averting cardiovascular associated diseases, some cancers, obesity and type 2 diabetes. The need to understand this sedentary behavior and its associated risks to the individual’s ...

According to Skinner, the behavior of the speaker is verbal. This is because there is a specially condoned listener who mediates the reinforcement of this behavior. The role of the listener in every verbal episode is not necessary verbal in any sense and that the behavior of a listener cannot be differentiated from other forms of his behavior. In language hypothesis however, is that the implicit idea of the listener is verbal. Skinner uses verbal behavior to demonstrate how a behavior analytic approach can be applied in call language. According to him verbal behavior is that kind of behavior that is reinforced ...

The article basically discusses the mechanisms and factors that influence human behavior. There are both external and internal factors that play a part in determining the behavior of an individual. However, greater emphasis has been placed on the internal factors as the external factors have limited control over peoples’ emotions and reactions. Nevertheless, it is important for one to have a well established emotional intelligence so as to be able to have a good emotional control. Emotional intelligence results from an individual’s self-awareness and subsequent ability to control their reactions based on a good sense of judgment. The reactions within one-self are ...

The 7th video of the instructional series produced and edited by Kevin Dowins focuses on sexual disorders. Sexuality can be expressed in diverse ways that are permissible, although not always socially acceptable; however, there are specific limits that are perceived normal or sexual deviations.
According to Dr. John Money, PhD, from the John Hopkins University ad Hospital, “Huge portions of Human sexuality are conditioned by social learning” and experiences of an individual on the course or their development. In order to comprehend human sexual behaviors The Love Map is introduced and is linked to the Carnitive map that ...

There are several leadership styles available to leaders to choose from. Successful and effective leaders are those who are able to realize which style needs to be adopted in which situation. In the article chosen about Giant’s head coach Tom Coughlin illustrates this. Coughlin’s inability to mould his behavior according to the team’s requirements was limiting players to show their best performance.
Rigid and authoritarian attitude of leaders de-motivates followers, since; they are bound by too many rules and regulations. Similarly, players of the Giant’s were not pumped about the game which restricted their ...

Anthropology is the study of the present and past of humans. It builds and draws knowledge from biological and social sciences along with physical sciences and humanities. The biggest concern of the anthropologists is applying the knowledge of anthropology to solve human problems. We shall look at how anthropology affects the society as a whole and the influences it has on people. It views the social patterns of human beings. It does so by comparing the past social patterns with the present ones. In so doing one, anthropology can bring solutions to the problems that affect human beings. It also ...

The chapter 13 of the book The Introduction to Psychology focuses on how people perceive other people and think about them. This is known as social cognition. The interaction of people in groups also determines their social behavior. If I apply this to my understanding, I believe that an attitude plays a significant role in this regard as this helps us in determining how we process information and perceive the situation. If the social situation is ambiguous of course, it will determine how an individual think and this thinking will be restricted to the situation one encounters.
If an ...

PHILOSOPHY, HEALTHCARE ETHICS, AND RELIGION: DECISION MAKING

- Introductory Summary
There are a wide array of choices that individuals must make in their lives, and it is important to have guiding principles when it comes to making hard choices. The Bible and relevant philosophical texts give good guidance; even so, difficult decisions must be made frequently, especially in the medical profession. This discussion will focus on individual absolutes and the Biblical basis for those absolutes, especially in the context of difficult decisions that will be made daily. In addition, decision-making strategy will be introduced, including the question of what to do when one’s absolutes are ...

Healthcare professionals utilize diagnostic labels in their classification of individuals for treatment and research purposes. The labels allow professionals and researchers to assume that all the group members have similar illnesses regardless of whether there is some variability in the presentation of symptoms or other circumstances surrounding the illness. Diagnostic labels provide a way for clinicians to understand a large amount of information. The labels also provide a convenient way of describing patients including the presentation of symptoms that may also imply the expected course and prognosis. They may also point towards specific interventions that may improve or prevent the condition (Garand ...

Both the documents: “The Laws of Manu” and “Ban Zhao’s Admonitions for Women” talked about the role, duties and status of women in different times and places. The Laws of Manu were edited in 1913. This paper thus draws comparison between the two texts and talks about how the different times; places and religions had a huge role to play in determining how women are treated. While the Hindu version, derived from scared Hindu books, clearly shows how subservient the status of women is in Ancient India and how the only purpose of her life is to ensure that ...

Years back, while at the age of eight, I went through a tough experience that still lingers in my mind today. These events took place on the beaches along the Pacific coast where I almost drowned. It occurred during my family’s vacation when my parents decided that we should spend time at the coast together. At the beach, the waters seemed calm. Without my parents’ permission or watch, I decided to venture deeper into the continental shelf. Suddenly, a huge wave appeared from nowhere, swept me off balance and its backwash dragged me further into the deeper ...

Addictive behaviors are both reinforcing and rewarding. They become the primary focus of an individual’s life to the disadvantage of other activities. They are of many types of addictive behaviors with sex and drug addictions being among the major addictions (Wu. et al., 2006). Drug addiction (substance dependence) occurs when a person experiences a high need of taking the drug. Addiction happens to a particular kind/class of drug. Sex addiction occurs when one experiences a progressive urge of engaging in sex. It is characterized by compulsive sexual acts and thoughts.

Common Characteristics of Sex and Drug Addiction Behaviors

Introduction

In law enforcement, profiling is a technique used to develop a profile of unknown criminal offenders using available information from crimes committed. Criminal profiling seeks to identify an offender through analysis of the offense committed, the manner it was committed and physical evidence from the scene of offense. Through the use of information collected, psychological characteristics of offenders may also be developed. Profiling is mainly employed in offender profiling. However, since profiling involves the analysis of several aspects of an individual including behavior, it is used in other ways other than criminal profiling. Profiling is used in the American judicial process, ...

Introduction

While many certainly agree that white collar crime presents serious legal issues the sociological implications, regarding deviant behavior, is not always obvious. No discussion inspires a proper balance for analysis without a relevant definition of our terms. According to a ‘Sociology’ glossary, published by the McGraw-Hill Higher Education (2014) group deviance is defined as “Behavior that violates the standards of conduct or expectations of a group or society.” The same glossary defines the concept or theory ‘anomie’ as a Durkheim term for “the loss of direction felt in a society when social control of individual behavior has become ineffective” (“Sociology Glossary,” 2014). In an effort ...

In this paperwork, I am going to discuss the following subject about threat of violence; when they are considered as crime giving examples of such criminal threats. I will also talk about what happens when criminal threats are made though interstate communication devices, giving my stand as to whether these threats should be termed as criminal deeds.
Through a literature review, according to the California Supreme Court conclusion approved in 2001, it affirmed that if a person makes a threat of violence and has intention to follow through, it can be considered a criminal act. It is important to note that for a ...

“A&P” is a famous short story by John Updike. This story was first appeared in the year 1961. Updike has portrayed the mindset of a young boy in a vivid manner. Some may interpret Sammy as impatient and immature while others interpret him as a young man who cannot tolerate any wrong. He appears to be a good natured boy of a kind heart in the story but there are other aspects of his personality that should be analyzed.
Thesis Statement: This paper intends to discuss How Sammy is portrayed in the story A&P, along with discussing other aspects of his character.

The regular U.S. local, in a year, uses 635 pounds of paper, uses energy equivalent to 7.8 metric tons of oil and eats 275 pounds of meat. It was forty-five years ago, when the average American used only 366 pounds of paper, ate 197 pounds of meat, and used a minimum amount of energy equivalent to 5.5 metric tons of oil. The United States declares that there is about one car for each two people in a group. On the other hand, Europeans have about one passenger car for each three people. As also recorded, developing countries possess, on an average, about ...

In the past, I have participated in several unsafe behaviors despite the fact that I knew that they were not a good idea. For example, a few summers ago, I drove too fast in my car, resulting in my wrecking into a tree and damaging my car extensively. Luckily, I was not injured except for minor whiplash. The reason I was speeding was because I wanted to get to work on time. I took a turn going too fast and the tires slipped underneath me, causing me to lose control of my vehicle. I know that I should not speed: the speed limit ...

I believe in causal determinism that means that every event (except maybe the first one) was caused by what came before.
Casual determinism states that all events, including human action and choices, are ultimately necessitated and determined by preceding events, which are influenced by the laws of nature. The idea of casual determinism is in par with the scientific theory in holding this reality but raises an objection from the free will concept. Physics gives a reason to doubt the certainty of determinism using the probabilistic theory that shows no certainty in the occurrence of events. Since the laws ...

Introduction

The social norms theory states that human behavior is influenced by inaccurate perceptions of the manner in which other members of social groups act and think. In recent times, prevention approaches that are based on the social norms theory have grown in popularity. Evidence now indicates that they can be very effective if implemented correctly. According to the National Institute on Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse (NIAAA, 2002), there are promising initial results obtained from programs that adopt an intensive social norms approach. According to NIAAA, there are reductions of up to 20% in the levels of high-risk drinking in a ...

Introduction: Social Control

Social control entails generally to both the political and societal mechanisms/ processes present, which aid in the regulation of group and individual behavior. This is often in an attempt at gaining both compliance and conformity to the prevailing rules, norms and regulations set, in a given jurisprudence, social grouping or society. In the field of sociology, this is categorized into two core avenues: informal and formal means of social control. The former, pertains to the internalization of various values and norms, through various forms of socio-cultural and religious interactions. The latter, entails the presence of external sanctions, enforceable through policies, ...

Corporal punishment has been practiced in human society since the civilizations of the ancient world, but corporal punishment is not an effective long-term strategy for modifying human behavior because it can cause developmental issues and behavioral issues in all stages of lifespan development. Corporal punishment is a significant issue for children and adolescents because they are mainly the targets of physical abuse at home or in school under the assumption that it will result in reducing misbehavior.
Three types of corporal punishment include parental corporal punishment, school corporal punishment, and judicial corporal punishment. Other than the death penalty, judicial ...

Mark Warr carries out his research using a paper by Sampson and Laub (1993) as a starting point. Sampson and Laub have proposed that life-course transitions such as marriage, employment, and entry into the military may have significant effect on criminal behavior. Sampson and Laub had also sought to examine criminal behavior over a subject's entire life and not just the teenage years. The carried out this research on data from the 1950s which has known for its comprehensiveness. They had found that marriage and job stability had significant effect on criminal behavior in adulthood. Warr argues that their analysis is not ...

Hamilton’s rule states that social behavior of organisms is supported by natural selection but only if rb-c>0, where r represents the genetic relatedness between actors and beneficiaries, b denotes the benefit that the social behavior confers on the beneficiary, and c is the cost that the social behavior imposes on the actor (Alonso, 2002). It is important to note that the rule suggests that the cost will most certainly diminish the appropriateness of the agent and on the other hand that the benefits will increase the suitability of the agent. Although this is the case, the rule is ...

The main purpose of this article is to present arguments of the “Third Force” which are the basis of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. These are augments that depart from Freudian and B.F. Skinner’s claims that man, in his actions, is driven by his base needs which include feeding, sex and the avoidance of pain. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs departs from the psychoanalytic school which emphasizes on the destructive tendencies of people.
The most important information presented in the article is that humans show depravity and a destructive nature such as rape, theft and violence when they ...

Joel Stein opened his argument with a very strong empathic tone “I am about to do what old people have done throughout history: call those younger than me lazy, entitled, selfish and shallow. But I have studies! I have statistics! I have quotes from respected academics! Unlike my parents, my grandparents and my great-grandparents, I have proof.” Stein’s premise goes with the idea that despite the fact that millenials (the Me Me Me generation)—those who were born between the period 1980s to 2000—are inherently narcissistic, selfish, shallow, lazy, and obsessed with entitlement traits, they may not be that ...

The essence of leadership can be summed up as forming good relationships with the people you lead – both between members and with members and the leader. Collaboration is the essence of good leadership, utilizing everyone’s strengths and diminishing their weaknesses. No strategy for effective leadership is the same between two organizations or two leaders – the attitudes and strengths of each member of the team has to be taken into account, as well as the objectives and efficiencies of the organization itself.
My definition of leadership works well with good followship, which involves having members of a group who ...

Dixon and Wilkinson’s article “An Alternative Paradigm for Marketing Theory” advances the idea that marketing, as all the sciences, is in a continuous change and transformation, based on older paradigms inserted in new research models for developing an emerging functionalism. The article explain that when “normal science”, enrooted in the accepted paradigms that serve as theories, is challenged, because paradigms that support it are no longer adequate, scientific revolution occurs and older paradigms are updated, and this is how the Kuhn’s Paradigm is described.
Further the article explores Alderson’s General Living System Theory, which supports that ...

In sociology, crime and deviance are studied when cultural norms, changes it goes through over time and the consequences that occur when they are broken are studied. With help of norms, individuals learn to exert self control from the activities that might destroy the peace of a society. Social norms differ in different parts of the world. It means that if for one society a certain social act is abhorred it might be considered normal in another society. Sociologists study the reasons behind these differences and how it effects the population living in those societies.
Deviance is the name given ...

Abstract

The idea of ethical behavior is of great relevance in the contemporary society. Individuals or organizations that observe unethical practices have a risk of facing the detrimental consequence of bad reputation. The cost associated with the process or effort for correcting situations created by practicing unethical behavior is essentially high, which affirms the significance of practicing good ethics. It is apparent that individuals who need to be successful in the modern world should have knowledge of what ethics entails and present high commitment of avoiding unethical behaviors. This should entail understanding and observing personal, organizational, and work ethics among others. ...

Discipline and Behavior Modification

Discipline and Behavior Modification
1. The most important idea that I learned in Part Nine was the role of discipline and behavior modification theories in the manager-report business relationship. The given example concerning the performance improvement within the transportation industry was interesting for its complete lack of negative aspects. The results that the company obtained by emphasizing the positive and ignoring the negative were notable. In some ways this section was slightly contradictory, as the only discussion of what would happen if the drivers that did not meet the goals were receipt of encouragement to keep trying to ...

Summary:

What makes a good student “good” lays is determined by socially relevant discussion of college admission principles. Personality relates to school performance though academic achievement is more of intellect than personality. Meta-analysis results show that conscientiousness is related to academic performance. Conscientiousness is reliable since it is free from complications. Academic achievement is weakly linked with personality features.
The study seeks clarity on earlier studies. That is, lack of consistence in determining academic success and near-exclusive use of self-report personality measures. It is hypothesized that conscientiousness will not show difference in ethnicity SAT scores but will explain incremental variance ...

There exists exclusive difference between teachers who use behaviorist approach in contrast to teachers who use constructivist approach in class. The main difference lies on the style of teaching. For behaviorist inclined teachers, they usually depend on the environment around schools in deciding how they should handle students. In my view, these kinds of teachers do not aim at encouraging change for the condition of learning. They fear improving the status of education as they are bound by education. On the other hand, constructivist approach aims at improving the level of education among students. This approach extremely significant as ...

The article has its main claim that there exists a relationship between the human mind and the surrounding nature. This interdependence assists in repossession of our ecological dependent lost identity. This in addition helps in maneuver our behavior towards closing the dash between behavior and proenvironmental attitudes. The ecopsychologists take into account the existing relationship between the human nature and the natural environment as of importance to the mental health and hence ecological health. They consider that there is an existing loss of human external context as a result of the luxurious focus on the inner experience in relation to the ...

Problematic behaviors regarding time management

Arguably, there exist a number of behaviors that jeopardize time management in organizations set up, as well as an individual’s life. Many at times, such behaviors impact negatively on workplace performance. Above all, poor organization is perhaps one of the most problematic behaviors when it comes to time management. Precisely, poor organization leads to failure in prioritization of different business tasks (Kennedy 116), which should be accomplished within the given timelines. For this reason, such tasks get stalled on the process, which results in an inadequate workplace performance resulting from failure to accomplish assigned business projects on time and ...

There are different types of people, and each person has his or her own kind of behaviolar blend. This is based upon the DISC types. DISC is a model which has four different sections (Gianz, Rimer, & Viswanath, 2008). A person is assessed according to each session based on his or her behavior. There is generally no “bad” type of blend since each person is unique. These behavioral blends are affected by the people around the individual, the environment and other factors. The sections in the DISC model can help people understand why they act, feel and think the way that ...

When a person shows excessive obsession to any activity and witnesses intrusive thoughts then he or she is likely to suffer from compulsive behavior. This type of behavior makes a person perform an action repeatedly because he or she is unable to suppress his or her desires- these desires are often unbeneficial for the person. Compulsive behavior is not similar to physical addiction like drug or alcohol dependence; however it is still very dangerous and should not be ignored (O'Guinn & Faber, 1989, p. 147-150).
The wide range of compulsive behaviors includes the routine activities that somehow dominate the life of ...

Self-efficacy is a key element that brings about self motivation and confidence to perform efficiently. It is that perception of an individual and the confidence he/she posses in the ability to perform a recommended tasks or response. The self-efficacy concept is within the social cognitive theory that shows the human learning and observation process of social experience in attaining self development.
The social cognitive theory attempts to give an explanation on how the thoughts, feeling, and behavior of individuals could be swayed through specific factors, predictable, or indirect presence of others. Thus, according to Bandura (1989), the trust of the ...

Sociologists refer to deviance as any behavior, characteristic or a belief that violate, or deviate, or depart from, a basic norm and is likely to generate negative reactions or perceptions by the persons who observes or hears about the norm violation (Bartos and paul, p17). In addition, they further outline the ABCs of deviance as: Attitudes, Conditions and behaviors. Adler and Adler (2009) clearly explain why these ABCs are considered to be the major types of deviance. He explains Attitudes as any unpopular, unconventional beliefs that may or may not depict themselves in overt actions. In regard to behavior, he explains ...

Status offense laws define a status offense as a noncriminal/non-delinquent offense. These laws specify offenses that are considered illegal for an underage individual even though they are not illegal if they are committed by an adult. This law was designed to protect the youth from acts that may eventually lead to criminal offenses. These laws define acts of incorrigibility, runaway behavior, curfew violations and truancy. However, in the United States, these laws also have a negative facet to them. In this paper, I will seek to highlight the pros and cons of Status Offense Laws with respect to age requirements for purchasing ...

The cause of criminal behavior can be attributed under two theories namely, the Positivist and Classical. Under the Positivist theory, it can be referred to the deviant behavior of every human being is based on the one’s genetic composition. The intrinsic evil qualities of every individual will force him or her to give in to the criminal behavior. The logical explanation for this theory is that the criminal mind has a close connection to the biosocial perspective which includes the physiological and biological traits acquired by birth. On the other hand, the theory under the Positive ...

Heroine is an opioid synthesized from morphine, which is extracted from opium poppy plant seed. In 2011, about 1.6% of the American population above 12 years of age had abused heroine at least once in their life. Heroine dependency is estimated at 23% of all its users. The routes of administration of heroine include smoking, inhalation and intravenous injection. The drug is then rapidly distributed to the brain where its effects predispose the user to health and addiction risks. While in the brain, heroine is reconverted to morphine, which binds to opioid receptors. These receptors are numerous in the ...

1. There are certain situations where we practice selective behavior that favors certain traits. A lot of times when individuals are acting as a member of certain groups, their actions are usually tailored towards being in conformity with those of other members of the same group. For instance a prominent member of a certain professional organization may decide to listen to a particular brand of music and because other members of the group interact with the individual and look forward to them as an important personality, others might also want to listen to the same brand of music. Also, if members of the ...

The article by Harold (1990) explores the growing concern over the ethicality of using animals in behavioral and biomedical research. Over the years, criticism by animal rights groups over the use of animals has increased. However, more focus has been put on the use of animals in research. It is for this reason that the article reviews the philosophical underpinnings surrounding the ethicality of using animals in research.

An economic sanction is generally viewed as a domestic penalty imposed upon by one country to another often for political reasons. The sanction involves a restraint in the international trade of one country in order to enforce changes in that country’s policies not acceptable to other countries. It involves a deliberate governmental effort that seeks to withdraw financial and economic relations between countries. The purpose of economic sanction is to expressly show condemnation to a country’s policy and behavior. The United States government for instance defines ...

Therapy is an important approach of treating mental and behavioral problems. There are different types of therapy that are common and they are suitable to different people depending of the circumstances. The three important therapies that are addressed in this research are bahavior therapy, family therapy, and psychoanalytic therapy.
In psychoanalytic therapy, the psychologists listen to what their patients say about their previous lives. According to the therapy, the early lives of the people and the important events in their childhood help therapists to analyze the possible causes of the problems that the patients may be currently facing. ...

Proponents for behaviorism argue that behavior which constitutes habits is acquired through a repeated process of conditioning. On the other hand, advocates of free will posit that human behavior is not subject to control of any laws and effects. They argue that human beings have the ability and requisite powers to elect the way they behave in a set of circumstances independent of past behavior. I totally agree with the arguments in support of free will. I feel that free will is not an illusion and any person can choose to behave in any way he or she likes regardless of ...

The response by this student is not sufficient and is not to the point. The student goes off the topic that is asked and talks about the American Standards regarding sex crimes. This is not what was required. Nevertheless, the issues that the student raises are valid and to the point. It is true that standards of sex crimes have evolved in America and even in the world all over. Actions which were considered to be criminal some years ago are no longer the case. This is attributed to the development in education and awareness of the responsibilities that ...

In this case, Bob should report the co-workers. However, he first needs to warn the coworkers before reporting them. It is important to realize that workers should always co operate and if bob reports the co workers, there is a possibility that these workers will not be friends with him in the future. In this case, Bob should first inform the coworkers that taking shortcuts in the nuclear plant is affecting the safety of the other workers and other people within the plant. Bob should then explain that this is not an ethically acceptable behavior and should be avoided. The ...

Psychology by Saundra K. Ciccarelli is certainly not one of those disappointing textbooks that lack conviction and are uninspired. The inclusion of this textbook in coursework will undoubtedly ensure that students have a tremendous enlightening learning experience. Moreover, concepts have been simplified to an introductory level, which makes the content easy to understand and interesting for the reader. Unlike dry and rushed textbooks, keywords have been defined on the side of the textbook, which has proven to be helpful when studying for a test. Ciccarelli’s book is ingenious and insightful, and not only do her topics come to life, but ...

Scientific research requires a systematic approach to using observations to generate a tentative statement, or hypothesis, to explain a phenomenon. There are four general steps to the scientific method: observations, generation of a hypothesis, testing of the hypothesis, and discussion of whether the hypothesis is disproven or the hypothesis needs to be revised (Krebs, 2009). The proper planning, background research, and budgeting of resources is required before any data collection begins. Once data collection is completed, the scientist must submit it to rigorous statistical testing before deciding to retain the current hypothesis or revise the hypothesis. A hypothesis cannot be proven, just disproven ( ...

When Michael smells onions and his girlfriend is not around, he will start searching for her around. This is because the smell of the onions has always been paired with the presence of his girlfriend. This has continued, the stimulus has been learnt, and this is what will makes him search for her around.
Unconditional stimulus occurs naturally without one being used to such stimulus. For example, when one smells oranges, he/she may have a sour taste regardless of the fact that such an individual has never eaten oranges. This means that there might have been no previous experience. ...

A strong influence can exerted on human health by certain behaviors that increase the chance of developing a wide variety of diseases, and these behaviors are collectively known as behavioral risk factors. Ever since the 1980s, there has been epidemiologic evidence that supports the relationships between various health outcomes caused by particular behaviors. The purpose of this paper is to identify and discuss the reasons why a large portion of Americans smoke cigarettes, eat a very poor diet, and are physically inactive, which are three major behavioral risk factors in the United States.
