I believe that the Behavioral , which studies the impact of a persons   environment on   their mental processing and behavior, is one the best ways to study human nature.

It measures how humans from different countries, regions and neighborhoods handle and react to these various situations. This method is easier and more cost effective since studies can be done on or office site such as a schools, recreational areas and offices. As for weakness even though after researching it can tell a person that bases on the environment you grew up or currently in it cause you to react in this way. But it does not necessarily provide a true resolution to stop the behavior. Also some people believe that this type of psychology behavioral study treats humans as if they were animal test subjects and removed the human element from it.
