In the behaviorism approach to psychology behavioral scripts are a sequence of expected behaviors for a given situation. For example, when you enter a restaurant you choose a table, order, wait, eat, pay the bill and leave. People continually follow scripts which are acquired through habit and practice. Following scripts is useful because it saves time and the mental effort of figureing out an appropriate behavior each time a situation is encountered.
