Answer to #1

Applied refers to the interest of society in the problems being studied; there is a close relationship between the stimuli, behavior, and individual being studied
Behavioral refers to the pragmatic nature of the study; emphases are on what behaviors that people do rather than what they say; behaviors that are reliably measurable/quantifiable; whose behavior changes during a study must also be identified
Analytic refers a believable demonstration that the events controlled by the researcher account for the presence or absence (or changes in) the behavior in question
