A collection of response tendencies acquired through experience

Explanation:

Behaviorists view of personality is being described elaborately in the behaviorism concept and B. F. Skinner was one of the main proponents in the behaviorism study.

Behaviorism is referred to as the study of the way an individual develop distinct patterns of behaviors via punishments and rewards as well as an association between two different things. However, behaviorists tend to believe that every human behavior is being driven by significant instincts and personality is an "adaptation" of human beings to their environment.
