Tinbergen s four questions , named after NikolaasTinbergen , are complementary categories of explanations for behavior. It suggests that an integrative understanding of behavior must include both a proximate and ultimate functional analysis of behavior, as well as an understanding of both phylogentic developmental history and the operation of current mechanisms. ref Daly, M & Wilson, M. 1983 . Sex, evolution, and behavior. Brooks Cole. ref Four categories of questions and explanations When asked about the purpose of sight in humans and animals, even elementary school children can answer that animals have vision to help them find food and avoid danger adaptation . Biologists have three additional explanations sight is caused by a particular series of evolutionary steps phylogeny , the mechanics of the eye causation , and even the process of an individual s development ontogeny . Although these answers may be very different, they are consistent with each other. This idea was hashed out in the 1960s when Tinbergen delineated the four questions based on Aristotle s Four causes Four Causes . This schema constitutes a basic framework of the overlapping behavioral fields of ethology & anthropology , behavioral ecology , sociobiology & evolutionary psychology , and comparative psychology .

A displacement activity is the result of two contradicting instincts in a particular situation. Birds, for example, may peck at grass when uncertain whether to attack or flee from an opponent similarly, a human may scratch his or her head when they do not know which of two options to choose. Displacement activities often involve actions to bring comfort such as scratching, drinking or feeding. The first description of a displacement activity though not the use of the term is probably by Julian Huxley in 1914. ref Huxley J. 1914.
