Introductory Chapter: The Research Trend and Applications in Behavior Analysis

As the era of big data and artificial intelligence has come, many research fields are heading toward more precise process analyses. In particular, using innovative methods to analyze different human behaviors as well as to understand specific behavioral patterns help exploring the structures and contexts in all kinds of human behaviors, which can serve as theoretical innovation and strategies to solve human problems. So far, behavior analysis is gradually emphasized in many research fields, including education, human-mechanism interaction, learning science, psychology, sociology, guidance and counseling, marketing and management, etc.
