Explanation of Solution

Observational-approach focuses more on overt explicit behaviour. Whereas when it comes to other approaches it gives more importance to emotion, motivation. In observational-approach obtained results can get extracted from laboratory and could get applied to practical problems easily. The practitioners would get immediate reinforcement than do other approaches. Ex: changes in client’s behavior can be seen within few days or weeks. Other approaches give more importance to happenings within self and influence of external factors in one’s personality. Here in Observational-approach, behaviour is learnt by observing other’s behaviour.

Thus in this way observational-approach differs from other approaches.
