Despite all the research support for the role of endogenous pacemakers and exogenous zeitgebers, one weakness is that it can still be considered reductionist., For example, the behaviourist approach, would suggest that bodily rhythms are influenced by other people and social norms, ie sleep occurs when it is dark as this is the social norm and it wouldn't be socially acceptable for a peron to conduct their daily routines during the night., The research here could be considered reductionist , as it only considers a single biological mechanism and fails to consider the other widely different viewpoints.
