Answer:

- behaviorist

Step-by-step explanation:

Behaviorism is the concept that by observable behavior (actions) human or animal psychology can be critically analyzed, instead of thoughts and emotions that can not be witnessed.

This study arose as a response to psychology of the 19th century, which used self-examination of one's thoughts and emotions to analyze the psychology of humans and animals.
