They can,t carry out any experiment to find the CAUSE of any behaviour.
All behaviourism can do is report the incidence of behaviour and identify coincidental factors and antecedents.
The cause will always be a matter for debate, the hypothesis will never be completely proved because to do so incontrivertably would demand the experiment to yield the same result EVERY time and without infinite experiment this is not possible to determine.
Basically they are just mice watchers, who pay no regard to a subjective experience, robots who think we are robots too.
Sorry if you favour behaviourism, share some experience, get a life stop watching one :-)

You could use a Behaviourist approach and carry out controlled observations of an individual (single subject design) in a range of situations to find out if the behaviour is situation specific. You might carry out controlled experiments into a specific behaviour (again a behaviourist approach) i.e. stimulus response to find out if a specific stimulus triggers a specific resonse. Alternatively you might carry out a case study on an individual to try and find out their unconscious motivation for their behaviour - this would be using Psychoanalytic methodology. If you were studying the individual then this would also be an idiographic approach but if you carried out the controlled experiments on large groups of people then it would be nomthetic.

Not too sure, not a psychologist. I think it is called regression therapy, though.

Because they cannot find a way to prevent the behavior.
