Explanation
★Post-behaviouralism emerged in the late 1960s as a corrective to behaviouralism, putting substance over methodology.
★Its watchwords were relevance and action, so it held that substance comes first, that social change should be its motto, and it urged the politicisation of the professions.
★It did not claim that techniques and quantification are most important, so statement 4 is excluded.
★Hence statements 1, 2 and 3 only are correct.
