2 assumptions of the humanistic perspective

The two key assumptions of the humanistic perspective are that behavior must be understood in terms of subjective experience ofd individual, and that they are not limited by either the past or present situation. Humanists think that subjective experiences are extremely important because only the individual can explain the meaning of the behavior, and not its oserver.. Besides, they say people act from their freewill, which is determined by past experience. They argue that no one is objective, therefore objective observers are meaningless. This assumption opposes the behaviorists who claim that behaviors are studied through observation, because a person’s mind cannot reveal any solid evidence, unlike physical observations. They say that environment is the main influence of behaviors, not freewill. I’m goin to sleep now…it’s already more than an hour of tomrrow…
