Skinner believed people function

A) by free will.
B) by genetic factors.
C) like machines.
D) by unconscious conflicts.

Skinner's theory of behaviorism suggests that people function like machines, and their behavior is a result of environmental factors such as rewards and punishments. He believed that free will and unconscious conflicts were not relevant factors in determining behavior. While genetics may play a role, Skinner's theory focuses more on the importance of environmental influence on behavior.
