# Behavior

Properties shared by all the behaviors you can use to affect how components react to device motion and scrolling.

## Declaration

```data
object Behavior
```

## Properties

type: The type of behavior; for example, parallax for a Parallax behavior.

## Discussion

Discussion A behavior defines the physics of a component and its context. The effect of a component behavior is persistent and occurs every time a person views the article. Compare that with an animation which happens just once each time a person views the component in your article. note: You don’t use the Behavior object directly; instead, use the specific objects that extend it. You can use this object in Component.
