Exploring the Interplay of Variables and Randomness in Predicting Human Behavior

Models in predicting human behavior aim to account for numerous variables and strive for control over them to make accurate predictions. However, randomness disrupts this by introducing unpredictability and the impossibility of including all variables in a model. The concept of probability becomes crucial in social science, allowing for probabilistic predictions based on included variables. Despite efforts to include relevant factors, 100% predictability is seldom achievable due to the intricate interplay between various societal factors and the inherent element of random chance, emphasizing the necessity of acknowledging and incorporating both in understanding human behavior.
