In psychology, the behavioral perspective is a perspective which proposes that our behavior is learned as a result of our interaction with the environment. In other words, we learn from our environment how to act (based on reinforcement, punishment or by seeing other people's actions) and this learning is what determines our behavior.

In this example, Natassia believes that boys learn to be more aggressive because they are more frequently exposed to external pressures to fight. In other words, Natassia believes that aggression is a behavior that boys learn from their environment through the pressure of other people. Thus, this would exemplify the behavioral perspective.
