What does 'ABC' in behavior theory stand for?

Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
Action, Behavior, Change
Attitude, Belief, Consequence
Antecedent, Belief, Change

The correct answer is: Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence

In behavior theory, 'ABC' stands for Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence. This model is commonly used to understand and modify behaviors. The antecedent refers to the event or stimulus that occurs before the behavior, the behavior is the specific action taken by an individual, and the consequence is the outcome or result that follows the behavior. By identifying and analyzing these three components, behaviorists can better understand the causes of behavior and implement effective strategies for behavior modification. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the components of the 'ABC' model in behavior theory.
