Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The behavioral interview focuses on situational factors that relate to the problem, such as the behaviors and events that precede or follow the problem behavior. It is less concerned with intrinsic/person variables (such as personality traits) or developmental/childhood factors. Genetic predispositions may also be considered in some cases, but not as the primary focus of the behavioral interview.
