What is Behavior?00:54

What is Behavior?

10.2K
Behaviors are actions that an organism engages in—they can be related to finding food, reproducing, defending against threats, and many other possible actions. Behaviors include activities related to the environment around the animal—such as migration—as well as social interactions within a species or population. Many behaviors involve motor output—that is, muscle movements—while others involve less visible actions, such as learning.

Behaviorism01:28

Behaviorism

4.7K
The field of behaviorism was pioneered by figures such as Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, and B.F. Skinner fundamentally shifted the focus of psychology to the observable and controllable aspects of human and animal behavior. This shift marked a critical evolution in the discipline, emphasizing scientific rigor and experimental methodology.
The core premise of behaviorism is its focus on observable behavior rather than internal thoughts or feelings. This approach argues that true scientific...

Electron Behavior

Overview
Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that are attracted to an orbit around the positively-charged nucleus of an atom. They reside in locations that are associated with energy levels called shells and are further organized into sub-shells and orbitals within each shell.
Electrons Orbit the Nucleus
Electrons are found in specific locations outside of the nucleus. The shell in which an electron resides indicates the general energy level of the electron: those closer to the...

Plastic Behavior01:21

Plastic Behavior

531
A material's elastic behavior is characterized by the disappearance of stress once the load is removed, allowing the material to return to its original state. However, when stress surpasses the yield point, yielding commences, marking the onset of plastic deformation or permanent set. This change from elastic to plastic behavior is influenced by the peak stress value and the duration before the load is removed. An intriguing observation occurs when a specimen is loaded, unloaded, and...

Behavior Therapy01:22

Behavior Therapy

651
Behavior therapy incorporates diverse techniques rooted in classical conditioning principles to address maladaptive behaviors and anxiety disorders. These methods aim to reduce avoidance behaviors, foster adaptive coping mechanisms, and alter associations between stimuli and responses, making them effective in a wide range of therapeutic contexts.
Exposure therapy is a cornerstone of behavioral treatment for anxiety disorders. It involves systematic exposure to feared stimuli, either in real...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Assessing sedentary behavior (SB) at work involves questionnaires and wearable devices. Questionnaires are accessible for large, budget-limited studies, while wearables offer objective data for smaller groups, though analysis can be complex.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Prolonged sedentary behavior (SB) is linked to chronic disease risk.
  • Office workers face high occupational exposure to SB.
  • Workplace SB assessment and reduction are gaining focus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a global understanding of methods for assessing sedentary behavior at work.
  • To review subjective and objective assessment techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of peer-reviewed articles (2000-2019).
  • Searched databases: Pubmed, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science.
  • Included 154 articles (474,091 participants).

Main Results:

  • Sedentary behavior assessed via questionnaires (91 studies) and wearable devices (91 studies).
  • 30 studies used both methods simultaneously.
  • Large-scale studies favored questionnaires and/or single wearable devices.

Conclusions:

  • Questionnaires are accessible for large, budget-constrained studies.
  • Wearable devices provide objective data for smaller groups, often combined with questionnaires.
  • Increased device use enhances accuracy but complicates analysis.
