		At the time, humanists only focused on unconditional positive regard, and that helped to dispute that notion.
		At the time, behaviorists believed that behavior that happened to you was the only behavior that could increase or decrease, therefore the concept of observational learning opened up social cognitive thinking as the new guard in psychology.
