The present study proposes a mathematical model of approach and avoidance behaviors in the psychological field, which accounts for various behaviors of the organism in the psychological space, the open field, or the more abstract space constructed in the theoretical procedures. Furthermore, using the model represented by a system of simultaneous differential equations, so-called 'dynamical system', we can simulate the behavior of the organism, for example, the detour behavior in the space. An experiment, utilizing a kind of problem solving situation, was carried out using a computer-controlled graphic system to test the model, and results of eight undergraduate students supported the model. The present model have a big possibility of a development into various problems in psychology or other fields of science.
