Psychology is the discipline that involves the study of human emotions, motivation, and perception and, of course, relationships with whole world. Behaviour is actions of a human organism, usually in relation to the environment. Psychology of behaviour consists of understanding why and how exactly people behave in various situations.
Initially, the most important thing is nature of the phenomenon. Behaviourism is school that was founded in the early 20th century by American psychologist John B. Watson. He and other behaviourists tried to find relationships between natural organism's reactions and environmental effect.
Secondly, we should know why people are interested in psychology of behaviour. In my opinion, the most important reason is desire to know all about human, to understand others and themselves. Another reason is motivation to communicate and be a part of society, which is around you. What is more, most people are interested in body language and non – verbal behaviour as it is field of science that is always new and usable.
Psychology of behaviour has some benefits. People who try to understand others are more friendly, generous and peaceful, as they are interested in communication and awareness. Also, they can understand people easier; make fewer questions in difficult situations. Psychology of behaviour helps in work, friendships, marriage and other common parts of life. Of course, you can easier control yourself and know how you should behave in various situations.
On the other hand, there are some disadvantages in this field of psychology. People who are interested in behaviour can begin follow only information that was written somewhere and do not take care on individual and unique situations. Also, it can be a little bit difficult to socialize when you understand every sign of body and know reasons why people do exactly that thing.
To sum up, the psychology of behaviour helps us to understand others but we should know that everything have exceptions.
