Human Behavior - • , I ,

-Human behavior is the capacity to perform mental, physical, emotional, and


social activitie~ experienced during the five stages of human life (i.e., prenatal,
infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood). It includes the behaviors dictate·d
by culture, society/ values, morals, ethics, and genetics (Farnsworth, 2019).
Human beings. have a typical life course that consists of successive phases of
growth, each of which is characteristic of the distinct set of physical, physiological,
and behavioral features of the person. Human development is ·a.field ~f study that
r attempts to describe and explain the chan'ges in.human cognitive, emotional, and
behavioral capabilities _a nd functioning over a life~e (Encyclopecij.a J3ritannka,
2012).
