Behaviorisme

Behaviorisme atau Aliran Perilaku (juga disebut Perspektif Belajar) adalah filosofi dalam psikologi yang berdasar pada proposisi bahwa semua yang dilakukan organisme — termasuk tindakan, pikiran, atau perasaan— dapat dan harus dianggap sebagai perilaku. Aliran ini berpendapat bahwa perilaku demikian dapat digambarkan secara ilmiah tanpa melihat peristiwa fisiologis internal atau konstrak hipotetis seperti pikiran. Behaviorisme beranggapan bahwa semua teori harus memiliki dasar yang bisa diamati tapi tidak ada perbedaan antara proses yang dapat diamati secara publik (seperti tindakan) dengan proses yang diamati secara pribadi (seperti pikiran dan perasaan).

Tokoh-tokoh terkenal tentang masalah ini diantaranya adalah:

• Ivan Pavlov,
• Edward Lee Thorndike,
• John B. Watson, dan
• B.F. Skinner
