Paradox
: something (such as a situation) that is made up of two opposite things
and that seems impossible but is actually true or possible
: someone who does two things that seem to be opposite to each other or
who has qualities that are opposite
: a statement that seems to say two opposite things but that may be true

Examples
It is a paradox that computers need maintenance so often, since they are
meant to save people time.
As an actor, he's a paradox—he loves being in the public eye but also
deeply values and protects his privacy.
a novel full of paradox
Behaviorism
: a school of psychology that takes the objective evidence of behavior (as
measured responses to stimuli) as the only concern of its research and
the only basis of its theory without reference to conscious experience —
compare introspectionism

Examples
When teachers reward their class or certain students with a party or
special treat at the end of the week for good behavior throughout the
week.
The teacher can take away certain privileges if the student misbehaves.
