Behavior is any activity an organism or group engages in, and it can be innate or learned. Behavior is studied by behavioral and social scientists. Scientists use a variety of tools to study behavior, including observation and animal models. Some studies occur in the laboratory, while others take place in natural settings. Some studies examine behavior in individuals, while others collect information about the behavior of groups. |
