"I'm in terrible shape. I eat too many high-fat foods and don't exercise."
1. Behaviourist Approach 2. Humanistic Approach: Rogers' person-centred theory
Understanding the Phenomenon:
A Behaviourist would approach this with the idea that our behaviours are a result of our relation with our surroundings and the environment. In this specific phenomenon, a Behaviourist may think this person eats fat foods and does not exercise because he/she does not have time to work out and eats at fast food restaurants because it is cheap.
A Humanistic Approach or how Carl Rogers would approach this phenomenon is by studying the persons characteristics and personality. Rogers may say that this person eats high fat foods and does not work out because he/she cannot control their cravings and they are too lazy to work out.
Changing the behaviour:
A Behaviourist may suggest to change the restaurants you choose and food choices and make some time in your busy schedule to prioritize working out.
A Humanistic Approach of Rogers' person centred theory presents the idea that everyone has the capacity and desire for personal growth and one should trust their own human potential. In this phenomenon, a humanistic approach would suggest to change your mindset of what foods you like to a healthier option and becoming more engaged and committed to physically working out.

Hi,
Nice work and explanation. Can you comment on the fact that why would a behaviourist be interested in the environment and surrounding? wha is it in the surrounding environmental that a behaviourist thinks is a likely reason why this person consumes faty foods.
Thanks, Ali

Hi, I agree with your work! and to answer one of the questions above, Behaviourism is concerned with how environmental factors (called stimuli) affect observable behavior (called the response). The behaviorist approach proposes two main processes whereby people learn from their environment: namely classical conditioning and operant conditioning. (Thats why a behaviourist would be interested in the environment and surroundings)
