Question 1
What is behaviour? Give examples of overt and covert behaviour.
Solution
Behaviours are responses or reactions we make or activities we engage in.
(i) Overt behaviour can be outwardly seen or sensed by an observer. Example: If the suggestion of a person, who always try to dominate, is not accepted he immediately gets irritated and anger surfaces on his face.
(ii) Covert behaviours are internal. Example: When you are in a difficult situation while playing a game of chess you almost feel your hand muscles twitching trying to experiment with a move.
