Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B.F. Skinner believed in the idea of operant conditioning, where rewards and punishments shape our behaviour. He did not believe in the concept of personality as it was too abstract and unscientific. Skinner focused on observable behaviour and believed that behaviour could be understood and modified through conditioning. He did not attribute abnormal behaviour solely to biology, instead, he believed that environmental factors played a significant role in shaping behaviour.
