Human Behavior: Game Plan

Since posting about human behavior recently I have struggled with how to present the material. I have decided to invent a cast of fictitious characters and write soap opera style stories about how they interact with each other.

If all goes well, you and I will learn:
  • To understand our own behavior model: how we differ from others and what our strengths are
  • To read others' behavior model
  • To adjust our expectations of others based on their behavior model
  • To adjust our behavior toward others to improve our relationships
If successful, these characters should bleed into daily life. "Oh, you're being such a Danielle! Obviously, I'm being a Sally, so I need to 'be rude' to you in order for you to respect me. Then we can get along!"
