Discussion Post: Biological vs. Behaviorist Theorist
1) Jane is very outgoing. She enjoys large gatherings of friends, participates in many extracurricular activities in school, and is a cheerleader and captain of her volleyball team. She loves to travel, meet new people, and experience different cultures.
2) John is a quiet and studious young man. He loves to read and to listen to classical music. He has a small, intimate circle of friends who share the same interests. He is captain of his school's chess team, and his idea of the perfect sporting event is a chess competition. He is not interested in travel-unless he is going to a chess competition.

b) Apply the behaviorist theory in explaining the differences in the siblings Jane and John.
