Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behaviorists focus on observable behaviors and their environmental determinants. A molar explanation looks at behavior in broader, more general terms, considering the overall patterns and outcomes of behavior, rather than the minute, moment-to-moment details (molecular). Going to the cafeteria to get food is a broad, goal-oriented behavior, fitting the molar perspective.
