Detailed explanation-1: -So the answer to this question is that psychology should focus on observable behavior, so he would agree.
Detailed explanation-2: -Watson believed that psychology should primarily be scientific observable behavior. He is remembered for his research on the conditioning process. Watson is also known for the Little Albert experiment, in which he demonstrated that a child could be conditioned to fear a previously neutral stimulus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Behaviorism, according to Watson, was the science of observable behavior. Only behavior that could be observed, recorded and measured was of any real value for the study of humans or animals.
Detailed explanation-4: -The theory is focused on “the centrality of human caring and on the caring-to-caring transpersonal relationship and its healing potential for both the one who is caring and the one who is being cared for” (Watson, 1996). The structure for the science of caring is built upon ten carative factors.
Detailed explanation-5: -Watson published “The Psychological Care of Infant and Child”. In his book, he advised parents not to touch their children too often and keep an emotional distance so as not to spoil them. Playing with children, he warned, would interrupt their routines. A happy child doesn’t cry or seek attention.
