Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behavioral psychologists focus on observable behavior, therefore they prefer to assess personality through direct observation rather than relying on self-report or other indirect methods. While structured interviews can also be useful, they still rely on self-report and may not always provide an accurate picture of an individual's behavior. Projective tests and psychotherapy are not typically used for personality assessment by behavioral psychologists.
