Final answer:
Behavior is observable, but the reasons behind it can be difficult to determine.
Step-by-step explanation:
False. While behavior is observable, the mind is not. If someone is crying, we can see behavior. However, the reason for the behavior is more difficult to determine. Sometimes we can learn the reason for someone's behavior by simply asking a question, like "Why are you crying?" However, there are situations in which an individual is either uncomfortable or unwilling to answer the question honestly, or is incapable of answering. In such circumstances, the psychologist must be creative in finding ways to better understand behavior.
