 Behavior - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Animal behavior is studied in comparative psychology, ethology, behavioral ecology and sociobiology.
Behavior should not be mistaken with social behavior, which is more advanced action, as social behavior is behavior specifically directed at other people.
Behavior can be conscious or unconscious, overt or covert, and voluntary or involuntary.

 Legal behavior - encyclopedia article about Legal behavior.
A central aspect of this paradigm was the reconceptualization of human behavior as the behavior of social life.
The word behavior is used here, as it is used in the physical sciences, to refer to variation.
Thus, the behavior of numerous individuals can be understood as the behavior of a single phenomenon, and more readily explained.

 Animal Behavior Encyclopedia Article, Information, History and Biography @ HigherPower.org
Ethology is the scientific study of animal behavior considered as a branch of zoology.
The related development of behavioral ecology has also helped transform ethology.
At the same time a substantial rapprochement with comparative psychology has occurred, so the modern scientific study of behaviour offers a more or less seamless spectrum of approaches, from animal cognition, more traditional comparative psychology, ethology, sociobiology and behavioural ecology.

 Inner Frames for CCBS Organizational Behavior Management
Behavior Analysis is a scientific discipline that studies the behavior of individuals.
Behavior Analysis maintains that behavior is the product of individual's interaction with his or her environment (e.g., physical environment, social environment, genetic environment) and the history of that interaction.
This is done through the careful use of behavioral and systems theories, and the application of research based principles of behavior, such as reinforcement, punishment, stimulus control, discrimination and generalization.

 Child Behavior: What Parents Can Do to Change Their Child's Behavior -- familydoctor.org
The biggest drawback to this method is that although the punishment stops the bad behavior for a while, it doesn't teach your child to change his or her behavior.
When the unacceptable behavior occurs, tell the child the behavior is unacceptable and give a warning that you will put him or her in time-out if the behavior doesn't stop.
Decide that the behavior is not a problem because it's appropriate to the child's age and stage of development.

 behavior Attribute behavior Property (A, ABBR, ACRONYM, ...) (Internet Explorer - DHTML)
Conflicts resulting from applying multiple behaviors to an element are resolved based on the order in which the behavior is applied to the element.
Once the behavior property is defined for the element, the addBehavior method can be used to dynamically attach additional behaviors to the element.
For example, if multiple behaviors set the element's color, the prevailing color is the one set by the behavior last applied to the element.

 Behavior (Java 3D API)
All behaviors that have registered WakeupOnBehaviorPost with this postId, or a postId of 0, and with this behavior, or a null behavior, will have that wakeup condition met.
Given a set of behaviors whose wakeup conditions are satisfied at the same time, the behavior scheduler will execute all behaviors in a lower scheduling interval before executing any behavior in a higher scheduling interval.
The scheduling interval defines a partial order of execution for behaviors that wake up in response to the same wakeup condition (that is, those behaviors that are processed at the same "time").
