It involves systematic analysis and investigation of human behavior through the study of past, observing the present and scientific analysis and modelling. In general, behavior science deals with the actions and interactions of humans. Behavioural science is a combination of sociology, psychology and anthropology. Even though it is related to social science, they differ in their scientific aspects. Behavioural science deals with study of process of communication between human beings while social science is the framework to study the process of social systems and structural adjustments of individuals and groups.
