Human behavior is the response of individuals or groups of humans to internal

and external stimuli. It refers to the array of every physical action and

observable emotion associated with individuals, as well as the human race.

While specific traits of one's personality and temperament may be more

consistent, other behaviors will change as one moves from birth through

adulthood. In addition to being dictated by age and genetics, behavior, driven in

part by thoughts and feelings, is an insight into individual psyche, revealing

among other things attitudes and values. Social behavior, a subset of human

behavior, study the considerable influence of social interaction and culture.

Additional influences include ethics, social

environment, authority, persuasion and coercion.

The behavior of humans (and other organisms or even mechanisms) falls

within a range with some behavior being common, some unusual, some

acceptable, and some beyond acceptable limits. In sociology, behavior in

general includes actions having no meaning, being not directed at other people,

and thus all basic human actions. Behavior in this general sense should not be

mistaken with social behavior, which is a more advanced social action,

specifically directed at other people. The acceptability of behavior depends

heavily upon social norms and is regulated by various means of social control.

Human behavior is studied by the social sciences, which

include psychology, sociology, economics, and anthropology.

Behavior changes throughout an individual’s life, as they move through

different stages of life. For example, adolescence, parenthood and retirement.

Human behavior is shaped by psychological traits. For example, extraverted

people are more likely to introverted people to participate in social activities like
parties.[1] Personality traits vary from person to person and can produce

different actions or behavior from each person. Social norms also impact

behavior. Due to the inherently conformist nature of human society in general,

humans are pressured into following certain rules and displaying certain

behaviors in society, which conditions the way people behave. Different

behaviors are deemed to be either acceptable or unacceptable in different

societies and cultures.
