The Steps Underlying Behavior

Most people are intelligent and behave rationally from their own perspective. Human behavior can be understood as a multiple step process of conscious thought preceding the action itself. It goes something like this; first I observe, then I select bits of data from what I see, then I add meaning, I draw conclusions and form opinions before I finally act. When you think of behavior this way you can readily see how easily we can misunderstand and misinterpret each other.
