Explanation:

Behavioral analysis is a global approach to the experimental study of the behavior of organisms. Its main objectives are the discovery of the principles and laws which govern behavior as well as the extension of these principles to all living species. Applied behavior analysis is a branch of behavior analysis that uses the principles of behavior to solve practical problems in everyday life. This consists of observing a person's behavior in terms of stimuli (behavioralism), rather than investigating their thoughts, in order to:

to help him with advice, but also by acting on stimuli (ex: reward / sanction),

to avoid harmful behavior.

sometimes also to condition him to act in a direction that does not correspond to his interests,

or to put it out of harm's way (criminal profiling).

But often, behavioral profiling is used by psychologists, psychiatrists, ... to understand their patients and identify their problems in order to help manage their discomfort. Some people study profiling for a purely personal purpose (generally social) to favor or disadvantage relationships of whatever type (friendships, rivalries, ...)
