• Answer the following questions in short answer format. Minimum of 350 words

Topic: Behavior is complex and difficult to understand. That being said, let's discuss how to break down behavior down to specific factors.

Note: Pick either individual paradigm or interests to answer the first two questions below. In this discussion board, interests are defined as goals/interests that we will be looking for in another party. You may think along the line of T.R.I.P.

Individual paradigm definition is covered in Week 3 Social Constructionism lecture. This is not an easy topic to understand but very important to implement to determine someone's frame of reference.

What three factors best describe how to identify someone's individual paradigm or interests? What process should we use to decide which factors to use to determine their individual paradigm or interests?

Do their interests and individual paradigms overlap? Can paradigms determine interests or vice versa?

The three factors must be observable. A behavior is observable if you can do any of the following:

• See the behavior
• Taste the behavior
• Touch the behavior
• Hear the behavior
• Smell the behavior
