Fortunately, most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling from others.
Albert Bandura
I'm a very observational storyteller, and I'm always relational - a lot of stories stem from relationships, whether it's me with my husband, me with my mom or my siblings.
Anjelah Johnson
It is also a good rule not to put overmuch confidence in the observational results that are put forward until they are confirmed by theory.
Arthur Eddington
My comedy comes from the actual music itself - they're observational musical gags. I could take the music away and it would just be some words.
Bill Bailey
My standup is observational, but it's self-observational, and it's self-deprecating, definitely.
Chelsea Handler
All these movies are observational comedies. I see somebody, maybe a dry cleaner, and notice how they are. Maybe I'll decide to turn a person with those traits into a studio chief.
Christopher Guest
Truth in science is always determined from observational facts.
David Douglass
However, the models also predict unambiguously that the atmosphere is warming faster than the surface of the earth; but all the available observational data unambiguously shows the opposite!
Observational studies show that exercise, nutritional supplements and reducing psychological stress can help. Chronic high stress and smoking can lead to accelerated telomere shortening.
Elizabeth Blackburn
Most of the time, the truth is ugly and in your face! My observational brand of humor is very much all in your face!
Erik Griffin
My stuff is observational, what people do with their lives from the angle of a man that can't pull it off. So if I talk about having a family, it would be through the medium of a man who is in no fit state to be given a child to look after.
Iain Stirling
GIS, in its digital manifestation of geography, goes beyond just the science. It provides us a framework and a process for applying geography. It brings together observational science and measurement and integrates it with modeling and prediction, analysis, and interpretation so that we can understand things.
Jack Dangermond
Biology has tended to be an observational science, and deriving things from first principles has not been possible in the past, but I hate to predict the future on that.
Jeremiah P. Ostriker
I'm an eccentric, silly, observational guy, but I'm not gonna frighten off social conservatives.
Jim Gaffigan
I was always good at being observationally funny - like, contributing something funny to the conversation.
Jon Hamm
The way people do an impression of me is they use the phrase, 'Who are these people who do this... ?' Then they do some not-quite-good-enough observational humour, which is the most offensive thing.
Josh Widdicombe
I'm not one of those kind of people who does the observational 'Hey, don't you hate it when you're at the grocery store and the line's long and the cash register starts taking too long.' I don't really do that kind of stuff. I'm heavy on persona, and I do a lot of interacting with the audience.
Judah Friedlander
It's incredibly important to be - once you do have a product - acutely observational about the trends.
Julia Hartz
A lot of times, I'm singing things that are observational and am definitely including myself.
Kacey Musgraves
No longer do companies study consumers' psyches only by asking people what they think about technology and how they use it. Now they conduct observational research, dispatching anthropologists to employ their ethnographic skills by interviewing, watching and videotaping consumers in their natural habitats.
Katie Hafner
The really good stand up comedians can be angry but relatable, and they have interestingly humanizing personalities. Their observational skills are far greater than mine, so I'll just stick to reading lines off a page.
I definitely am more observational of the people around me and how they interact and less introspective about myself.
I'm a lot more observational than personal in my writing. My writing is mostly a lot of questions without answers.
Don't get me wrong, I'm under no illusions, I've got a very old-school, mainstream leaning to the way I present my comedy because I actually like jokes and don't just do observational stuff.
I like to describe my stuff as observational comedy.
I'd love to write more observational comedy but the stuff people seem to respond to is the most personal so it's snowballed from there.
There are strong reasons for believing that space goes on beyond the limits of our observational horizon. There are strong reasons because if you look in opposite directions, conditions are the same to within one part in 100,000. So if we are part of some finite structure then, if the gradient is so shallow, it is likely to go on much further.
I'm very observational in my comedy and what I create with the characters that I'm blessed to play. I don't believe comedy needs to be offensive, and I don't believe it needs to be a mockery of anything.
Empirical and observational data along with a healthy dash of intuition often have to be combined as business owners begin to look outward, not inward, at what solutions they can provide to their customers.
In terms of comedy, there was a Seinfeldian era of comedy that I love but got played out. Seinfeld was great, but then after him it was people acting like Seinfeld and making observations that we felt like we'd kind of heard before, and then you're seeing Seinfeldian comedy in commercials. Suddenly everything is observational funniness.
My writing has changed a lot. From 16 to 19, I've changed a lot. My kind of writing in the beginning was very observational; now it's grown very personal for me. I use it as a diary in many ways.
With the dramatic canvas, I found you could still operate with the documentarist's observational eye.
I never wanted to do observational humor because I never wanted to tell people what they were seeing.
'Post 9/11 Blues' is an observational satire about the surreal circus of fear at that time. It's a generational thing.
I go to a lot of stand-up comedy. I find more inspiration from observational stuff than from rap.
My style of comedy is probably absurdist, observational, and Olympian.
After the comedy boom of the '80s, there was a certain formula that comedians had to do and could do in order to be successful touring comedians, and those were mainly observational comedians who had a very strict structure of what made an act, and I think it was very performance oriented.
I'm a very observational type of comedian that points out everyday absurdities.
It was this weird confrontation of these two delicious flavors that got me consciously or subconsciously combining Lincoln and vampires as an observational in-joke with myself.
My prediction for the 2016 race was based on a variety of observational and anecdotal evidence. I listened to Democrats, Republicans and independents across the U.S. I talked to people who consider themselves apolitical.
Design firms and progressive companies rely on many of the same tools: rapid prototyping, observational research, creative thinking, collaborative work environments, and multidisciplinary teams.
I'm a sarcastic, observational storyteller.
No observational problem will not be solved by more data.
