The intention of psychologists tried to understand on human behavior, and then they had developed a large number of theories and models but they had the main focus on explanation how individual perceived and evaluated the stimulant before making decision to express his behavior. However, study on human behavior, it can’t be ignored the psychological state.

Therefore, the equation can be written as following.

BEH =  0.38 MIND  + 0.29 STATE                                (1)
