Abstract

Purpose: The research considers the systemic approaches to human behavior, social environment and behavioral history engaging the theoretical representations and conceptualizations of the relevant constructs in the field. Methods and methodology: The research overviews the conceptual clarity using terms and association of terms and following a five-steps research technique: (1) determination of conceptual cluters using JavaScript based programming Mermaid Live Editor; (2) generating three themes of analysis using the tools and services provided by four databases, namely: Wiley Online Library, Sage Journals, JSTOR and the Royal Society Publishing (information retrieved during the period from January 10, 2024 to February 10, 2024); (3) identifying the associated domains and applications of the conceptual clusters by reviewing the relevant scientific literature; (4) examining the concepts and evolutionary advances; (5) framing the patterns of the terminological analysis. Results and findings: The findings of the research patterns the analysis units referring to the relationships between various constructs and discussing the variations and role of concepts. Conclusions: In conclusion, the paper releases significant research outcomes concerning linkage between human behavior, social environment and behavioral history and the occurrence and viewpoints about the three themes of analysis by focusing on the role of social environment and public participation.
