The test subjects showed to be impulsive, to be danger seekers, and rejected traditional values, had aggressive attitudes, as well as having the feeling of alienation.

Test results show that male and females who engaged in delinquency were more rebellious to conformity, behave impulsively rather than be cautious, and would more than likely take advantage of others. It is found that environment, such as family life; contribute to the development of antisocial behaviors and aggressions, thereby, creating a link between crime and
Uncertainty reduction follows an outline that involves different developmental stages. The beginning stage includes communication rules and customs as well as general demographic information, such as gender, race, age and social status is typically obtained. Next, the relationship enters the personal phase where an individual’s personal information begins to be shared. In this stage, communication becomes more natural with a person’s values, attitudes, and beliefs, being shared.

Adolescents are thought to believe that others are always watching and evaluating them, and so some think they are special and it gets to them.

ASSESSMENT TASK - CCLD MU 2.2 Contribute to the support of child and young person development Criteria 3.1 & 3.2: At several stages of children’s and young people’s lives transitions take place. While some changes can be positive, others may be difficult and therefore affect their development in a negative manner by becoming withdrawn, confused, frightened, angry, loss of appetite or lack of sleep. Importantly, successful transitions are dependent on practitioners consulting one another and building on information provided by parents and practitioners alike. During their time at nursery children may undergo different types of transitions such as emotional, physical, physiological and intellectual. To identify the transitions which children may face can help us to support and manage them.
Bowlby proposed that an internal working model (IWM) developed in childhood will determine or affect later adult relationships and how successful they are. Ainsworth’s strange situation helped develop three main types of attachment: secure, resistant and avoidant. Secure children develop a positive model of themselves and relationships as their primary caregiver was sensitive, emotionally responsive and supportive. Resistant children have parents who were inconsistent in their care giving, resulting in the child having a negative image of themself - often seeking attention but not finding comfort when they receive it. Avoidant children often have rejecting parents, which leads to them developing an internal model which makes them think they are unacceptable and unworthy.

In order to examine this assertion we have to look into some of the theories and findings from different areas in psychology that allows us to understand the importance of these influences. The examples used in this essay are based on general influences that determine human behaviour; personality, friendship and brain function. Personality is considered to be one of the important factors in influencing human behaviour as it can be described in many ways and can be applied to almost any situation involving human behaviour and actions. Generally personality is defined as “a set of stable and enduring individual characteristics or inner dispositions that lead people to behave in a steady way over time and maintain a consistent orientation to other people and the world around them.” (McAvoy Jean, p19). Because personality can be defined in so many ways psychologists had to find a way to categorise and measure personality with individual differences in personality in mind.
