1. Biological: The interaction between anatomy and behavior
   -What affects your body affects your behavior

2. Behavioral: Study of observable behavior
   -Determined by your environment and experience not genetics

3. Cognitive: In order to understand someone's behavior, we must understand how thet think

4. Evolutionary: Behavior can be best explained in terms of how adaptive that behavior is to our survival

5. Humanistic: Humans have unique qualities of behavior different from other animals
   -Free will, importance of feelings, love and acceptance

6. Sociocultural: Your behavior and your feelings are dictated by the culture you live in

7. Psychoanalytical/Psychodynamic: The interation between the conscious and unconscious shape behavior
