Behavioral Determinism

Enroll
Behavioral determinism is the theory that human behavior is determined by external and internal factors, such as genetics, environment, and learned experiences, rather than by free will. This perspective suggests that if these influencing factors could be perfectly known, human behavior could be predicted with precision.
