At the end of the study, it was seen that individuals with a CSP had significantly higher levels of antisocial personality, psychopathy, criminal charges and convictions compared with those lacking a CSP (Raine et al, 2010). The association between cavum septum pellucidum and the spectrum of antisocial behaviors supports a neurodevelopmental hypothesis of antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy (Raine et al, 2010). Although further studies will be needed to delve into other areas to further strengthen the basis for this research, there seems to be sufficient reasons to believe that individuals with CSP are potentially at risk of developing antisocial personality
It refers to patterns of attitudes that are considered to be antisocial and criminal by society at large, but are seen as normal or necessary by the subculture or social environment in which they developed” (Babiak & Hare, 2007, p. 26). In other words, sociopath behavior is a condition of learning and environment. Additionally, a sociopath may have the ability to empathize and have a developed conscience (Babiak & Hare, 2007). On the other hand, a psychopath’s diagnosis may be more neurologically based and are lacking in a conscience. Diagnosing Psychopathy The most frequently used diagnostic tool for determining psychopathy is the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R).
Aggression may be a consequence of many elements, including his knowledge and/or awareness of having been offended, disillusioned, let down, banned, tormented or betrayed with subsequent feelings of anger, antagonism and bitterness. This can be expressed by Rashad by doing a job poorly or asking multiple questions, asking for clarification of his duties, as a way of getting back at the nurse for her statement. Employees can express opposition indirectly through stalling, ineptitude and absentmindedness. Their resistance mirrors hostility but not openly. Their aggression is undercover.
The diagnosis that Randall McMurphy has is antisocial personality disorder. According to Mohr (2006), antisocial personality disorder display aggressive, irresponsible behavior that leads to conflicts with society and subsequent involvement in the criminal justice system, people with this disorder are often superficially charming, lack genuine warmth. Some ways to address character’s behavior could be psychotherapy as this focus on helping them gain control his anger and impulsive behavior by redirecting triggers and developing alternative coping strategies according to Hoeksema (2004). Secondly cognitive behavioral therapy could be use as a behavioral strategy which offers reinforcement for positive change; social skills and assertiveness training teach alternative ways to deal with frustration. Cognitive strategy will aid client to recognize and correct inaccurate internal mental, Townsend
Once a label is given to an individual they become part of all the generalizations that go with that label (Siegel). For example, someone who has been convicted of a crime might be seen as someone who has no respect for the law. These labels also present a self-fulfilling prophecy. Being identified as a deviant, a person is usually ostracized from conventional social groups, and therefore is forced to become part of less desirable ones (Fitch). Being a member of less desirable social groups will only reinforce that they are a deviant, and increase their chances of engaging in deviant behaviors (O’Conner).
Aggression is the intentional act to cause harm to one’s self or another person may it be physical or psychological. There have been many with different theories about the causes of aggression. Sigmund Freud was the first to develop a theory on aggression which suggested that aggression to be a force, that individuals keep within ourselves, that progressively builds up and which must be released to prevent sudden acts of violence. Freud’s theory was heavily criticised as his theory was based on assumptions about unconscious instinctive forces. There were theorists like Lorenz who believed that aggression was a instinct that is directed against members of the same species Lorenz believed aggression endorsed survival.
Outline and evaluate group display in humans Group display refers to the display of aggressive behaviour by groups, which are sometimes described as three or more people gathered together for a common purpose. In this context, psychologists are looking at groups gathered together for an aggressive purpose, or groups that develop an aggressive purpose. However, groups gather for many purposes, both positive and negative. Because individuals are capable of violence, we can argue that it must be in our nature. However, uncontrolled violence is not the best strategy in a community because the costs are too high e.g.
Low self-esteem not only influences dangerous activities such as alcohol consumption and domestic abuse, but also causes negative emotional reactions such as depression and shyness. Increasing the patient’s self-esteem seems a logical solution. However, Leary disagrees with this hypothesis. He argues that self-esteem merely measures and evaluates social interaction. He calls self-esteem, "the sociometer model."
Direct effects of conflict are usually associated with destruction or degradation. However, the benefits of conflict are usually overlooked. Conflict has the ability to develop individuals because it heightens the understanding
