Assumptions of the Humanistic Perspective
The humanistic perspective assumes that behavior must be understood in terms of the subjective experiences of the individual rather than the average performance of other people. This is because the humanistic perspective also assumes that every individual, special and unique. The only way to truly understand a person is to study their thoughts and feeling, rather than studying a group of people and generalizing it to every individual. Whereas the learning and psychodynamic perspectives studied a few individuals and generalized it to everyone. In other words, if someone was to understand me they would look into how I am feeling and how I am experiencing the world.

Another assumption in the humanistic perspective is that it concentrates more on the conscious awareness and how it contributes to the present and future rather than the past experiences to explain our behavior. Unlike the assumptions from the psychodynamic perspective which states that the person we become is the result of our previous childhood experiences. The learning perspective also says that our behavior is a result of all out past learning and the effect that the environment has on us. So therefore, my behaviors right now is a result of my present and of the future person I want to become.
