what's the difference between behavioural responses and physiological responses?

After what I got, a psychological response is an emotional or affective reaction to a situation (anger, sadness, depression for instance), while a behavourial response is a change of behaviour (avoidance, espace, attack, etc.).

to my understanding;

a physiological response is the body's automatic "physical" reactions to a stimulus, eg in animals, the presence of a predator may result in secretion of hormones which cause elevated heart rate and respiration, the "fight or flight" response.

a behavioural response is a change in behaviour in response to a stimulus. eg this could be running away (avoidance) or hiding (escape) from the predator, or attacking.

have a great day :smile:
