Human behaviour is the response of individuals or groups of humans to internal and external stimuli as specified. It refers to the array of every physical action and observable emotion which is associated with individuals, as well as the human race. While specific traits of one's personality well as and temperament may be more consistent, other behaviours will change as one moves from birth through adulthood. In addition to being dictated by age and genetics, behaviour, driven in part by thoughts and feelings, is an insight into individual psyche, revealing among other things related to attitudes and values. Social behaviour, can be categorised as a subset of human behaviour, study the considerable influence of Social interaction and human culture. As it is additional influences include ethics, Social environment, authority, persuasion and coercion.
The behaviour of humans (and other organisms or even mechanisms) falls within a range with some behaviour being common, some unusual, some acceptable, and some beyond acceptable limits. In sociology, behaviour in general includes some actions having no meaning, being not directed at other people or public, and thus all basic human actions. Behaviour in this general sense should not be mistaken with social behaviour, which is a more advanced Social action, specifically directed at other people. The acceptability of behaviour depends heavily upon social norms and is regulated by various means of social control. Human behaviour is studied by the social sciences, which include psychology, sociology, economics, and anthropology.
In human behaviour changes throughout an individual’s life, as they move through different stages of life. For example, adolescence, parenthood and retirement. Human behaviour is shaped by psychological traits. For example, extroverted people are more likely to participate in social activities like parties than introverted people.Personality traits vary from person to person and can produce different actions or behaviour from each person. Social norms also impact behaviour. Due to the inherently conformist nature of human society in general, humans are pressured into following certain rules and displaying certain behaviours in society, which conditions the way people behave according to their actions. Different behaviours are deemed to be either acceptable or unacceptable in different societies and cultures. Osibanjo, Omotayo and Adeniji, Anthonia(2012).
