Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behaviorists rely on observable behaviors and therefore rating scales, which quantify observable behaviors are often used in their assessments. Projective tests require interpretation of subjective responses and thus are not typically utilized by behaviorists. Introjective tests involve self-reflection and insight, which again is not in line with the behaviorist approach. Reports by friends may be subjective and biased, and therefore may not be the most reliable source of information for behaviorists.
