Which one of the following statements is not true?
AClassical political theory is qualitative
BBehavioural political theory is quantitative
CPost-behavioural political theory is both qualitative and quantitative
DBehavioural theory is not especially concerned with the Anglo-American model ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Behavioural theory is not especially concerned with the Anglo-American model — Classical theory is indeed qualitative, behavioural theory quantitative, and post-behavioural theory blends both, so the first three statements are true.
Explanation
★Classical theory is indeed qualitative, behavioural theory quantitative, and post-behavioural theory blends both, so the first three statements are true.
★Behaviouralism is in fact closely tied to the Anglo-American tradition, with scholars like Easton, Waldo and Almond, the term itself coined by Dwight Waldo.
★So the claim that behavioural theory is not especially concerned with the Anglo-American model is false and is the answer.
