Instead of focusing on institutions and constitutions as traditionalism did, behavioralism focuses on actual human beings and how they act. Instead of just describing human behavior, researchers now want to explain human behavior. Why do people engage in certain acts? How do they act when they suddenly find themselves in positions of power? Why do members of Congress vote in a certain way? Why do people go to war? All of these are questions political scientists now ask. Behavioralists therefore try to explain human behavior.
