Max Weber separates actions from behavior. By saying that a movement (behavior) is not an action unless it has a subjective meaning for t he person(s) involved. So actions without meaning, goals or needs are described as behavior.

Weber is saying that behavior is a reflex. It is purely a mechanical bodily movement without thinking and intentions. In his Action Theory he is only focused on actions, on acts with meaning. Because for Weber actions are the starting point of his theory.
