Abstract

In this article it is presented one of the approaches of the science of the psychology: the analysis of the behavior. Having as philosophical basis the radical behaviorism of B. F. Skinner in contrast to the methodological behaviorism, behavior is defined as the interaction among individuals and their environment, allowing us, as scientists, to observe, analyze and describe differentiated conducts in relation to other psychological references. The aim was to point out, based on the scientific literature, the conceptual and methodological characteristics used in that theory to understand man’s interactions with the world, promoting, subsequently, a reflection on that different vision and psychological practice.
