The main theories of human behavior are systems theory, behaviorism/social learning theory, psychodynamic theory, psychosocial development theory, transpersonal theory, social exchange theory, social constructivism, symbolic interactionism, conflict theory, and contingency theory.

For this written assignment, in a three-page, double-spaced paper, using a minimum of two sources, choose three theories of human behavior to explain the negative thought patterns, actions, and/or behaviors that clients may exhibit.

For example, if you were to (a) choose systems theory, (b) behaviorism/social learning theory, and (c) conflict theory, you should describe how each of these theories might generally explain clients’ negative actions/behaviors, thoughts, and perceptions that may contribute to client problems.

The goal of this assignment is to discuss, in regards to human behavior theory, what potentially brings clients to the Human Services Professional for intervention services.

The three theories that I chose are: System theory, Psychosocial development theory, and Conflict theory
