Not only do hormones influence behavior, but also behavior and the environment influence hormones. Thus, a feedback loop is formed. For example, behavior can affect hormones, which in turn can affect behavior, which in turn can affect hormones, and so on. 

EX: say someone pushes you or touches you a way you don't like, that's going to trigger your thought process and your hormones, which will effect your behavior.
