Explaining Behavior - The ABC Model – Antecedents, Behavior, and Consequences

Why Do We Behave The Way We Do? According to the Behavioral Model, a person’s behaviors are caused by present events that occur before and after the behaviors have been performed.

Antecedents are events that occur or are present before the person performs the behavior. Consequences are events that occur after and as a result of the behavior.
