It is then repeatedly used but often has a damaging effect on the person. This can be identified as being deliberate or intentional behaviour that has a clear, definite or probably negative effect. People are more likely to have a self-defeating or destructive manner when either there are threats made to their egos or when they have low self-esteem. When people have low self-esteem they are more likely to be susceptible to having depression, anxiety and emotional distress, which are problems that are usually directly related to low self-appraisal. There are many examples of self-defeating behaviours like, being needy, guilty, envious, angry, obsessive, rebellious, addictions, eating disorders, procrastination, controlling, gossiping, self-doubt and depression.
Violation of moral standards, showing behaviours that are not socially accepted. Unconventionality, doing things that are not common behaviours in the population. This definition along with most other definitions of abnormality, has many limitations. One limitation of this definition is that behaviour seen as abnormal may actually be helpful to a person, for example; a person who has obsessive-compulsive disorder and constantly feels that they need to wash their hands, may find that this behaviour makes them happy and better able to cope with his day. Another limitation is that many people take part in activities that are maladaptive/harmful or threatening to themselves, however, we don’t tend to class people who smoke, drink or take part in extreme sport as abnormal.
Prejudices and stereotyping can influence attitudinal barriers, for example, a disabled person in a work environment may be acted against by even the most well meaning of their colleagues, as they might feel pity or feel sorry for them, making a disabled person feel put down and inferior, meaning they don’t work up to their full potential and empower them to having full independence. A stereotype is based on an assumption that generalises a group of people as a whole, that they all have the same characteristics, as opposed to being individuals. This can influence attitudinal barriers because people may act towards certain people in a way that isn’t necessary and could be seen and offensive. The disabled may be discriminated against because people assume that they are unable to speak for themselves, taking away their right to speech. Geographical Barriers A geographical barrier is if a person lives in a rural area and is not able to drive, and there is no transport, preventing them from getting to the destination they need.
But all too often good communication is hampered by barriers. This can lead to misunderstanding, resentments, frustration and demoralisation not only for patients/clients, but also for health care staff.

Poverty stricken individuals who experience forms of discrimination may act in a particular way sometimes express negative behaviour as a result. Discrimination and poverty may well effect one’s behaviour. Less privileged individuals or those who have bad life experiences may take their frustration out on specific individuals such as police, teachers and nurses etc. Individuals may take their anger and frustration out on people they feel have a higher status or who are more en-powered.

When one hears the reference of geek or nerd it is usually part of a joke or cruel comment. Penrod further explains, “… ‘nerds’ are excluded from social activity because of their label, and that label in turn intensifies through the resulting lack of social contact. The cycle seems unbreakable.” As it is human nature, to avoid the personal and social damage caused by being an intellectual, smaller numbers of people now value higher order
In most cases, ‘stereotype’ refers to the labelling of individuals as belonging to a particular group. This usually has a negative impact on the individual or individuals being labelled. For example, peer groups such as those living on council estates have been referred to as ‘delinquent’ and ‘disruptive’ members of society. However, this view is highly exaggerated and does not fully take into account other individuals who may be well behaved individuals, even though they reside in the same type of environment. Who is to say that children from a middle class background are more superior?
It’s just a process where we unconsciously attach certain traits to a person. It’s not a fair thing that stereotypes are said and come about but they do and most people feel very self-conscious because of them. It makes some people aware of their bad past actions and wonder if the things they’ve done will influence the certain group they belong to. Stereotypes may be correct to some people but not all and it’s a way that generalizes the group of people in society due to the actions of a few and even with the lack of accuracy people continues to say them. Stereotyping has various effects on people.
