Festinger demonstrated the inadequacy of which accounts of human behavior?

  • Stimulus-Response Conditioning

  • Quantum Mechanics

  • Gravitational

  • Relativity

Answer

**Stimulus-Response Conditioning** alone is insufficient in explaining human behavior, as demonstrated by Festinger. It disregards the influence of cognitive factors and internal states on an individual's actions and fails to account for the complexity and diversity of human behaviors. People are not merely passive recipients of stimuli, but actively interpret and make sense of their surroundings, shaping their responses based on their beliefs, attitudes, and motivations.
