Hello everyone,

I'm looking for help understanding the six characteristics of behavior. Can anyone explain this to me in more detail? I understand that behavior is the way in which we interact with our environment, but I'm having trouble understanding the six characteristics. I'd greatly appreciate any advice or resources that could help me understand this better.
