behavioral syndromes

Behavioral syndromes are consistent patterns of behavior that individuals display across different situations and over time. Think of them as personality traits or behavioral "styles" that tend to stay stable, such as being generally aggressive, shy, or curious. These syndromes help us understand how an individual might react in various circumstances based on their usual behavior pattern. Recognizing these patterns is important for understanding personality, health, and social interactions, as they influence how we respond to challenges and opportunities in everyday life.
