Types of Human Behavior

Human behavior is actually

experienced during somebody's

entire lifetime. It contains the way
they behave based on various factors
for example social norms, genetics,
attitude and core faith.
Behavior is afflicted by certain traits

each and every individual has.

The traits differ from one individual

to another and can generate different

behavior or actions from every
person. Social norms additionally
impact behavior.
Human beings are expected to stick

to certain rules in society those

conditions the way in which people
behave.

Understanding Three
Different Types of Human
Behavior
human being behavior is greatly

affected by the attitudes we utilize

on a regular basis. You can find three
types of behaviors:
aggressive behavior, passive
behavior andassertive behavior.
Interacting with other people is often
confusing and difficult.

Fortunately, there are only three

primary types of behaviors that

people exhibit when they interact
with other people.
Therefore, it makes a lot of sense to

first learn these three behaviors, so

that it would be easier to understand
and interact with each type of
behavior that a person might exhibit.

The first type of behavior is

calledpassive behavior. These people

often avoid confrontation, use vague
phrases, have low self-esteem, and/or
treat others with respect while expecting
none in return.
This is typically done in order to

encourage harmony with other people

and/or to avoid responsibility or
assignments.

On the other hand, the second

behavior is calledaggressive
behavior. This is often characterized
as being arrogant, hostile,
demanding, having abrupt reactions
(sometimes over-reactions), and/or
being insensitive to other people.
Furthermore, they expect other

people to respect them; however,

they do not return this respect to

Typically, these aggressive individuals

believe all situations are either win or

lose, and must therefore win every
argument.
Finally, the last known common type of

behavior is called assertive behavior.

These assertive individuals are

typically honest, direct, confident,

empathic of others, and/or respect
themselves and others.

These people aredynamically

interactivewith other people as they

sense the needs and desires that
other people have.
As a result, these assertive

individuals reduce the potential for

conflicts while appearing to be more
personable and social than other
types of behaviors.

Adolescent Behavior Problems

Many adolescents today have

problems and are getting into

trouble.
After all, there are a lot of pressures
for kids to deal with among friends
and family.
For some youth, pressures include
poverty, violence, parental problems,
and gangs.
Kids may also be concerned about

Some children are having difficulty

dealing with past traumas they have

experienced, like abuse.
Parents and their teenagers are
struggling between the youth's
wanting independence while still
needing parental guidance.
Sometimes all these conflicts result
in behavior problems.

Any number of isolated behavior

problems can represent adolescent

problems and delinquencyshoplifting, truancy, a fight in school,
drug or alcohol ingestion.
Sometimes, kids can't easily explain
why they act the way they do.
They may be just as confused about
it as the adults, or they simply see
delinquent behaviors as appropriate
ways to deal with what they
experience.

Parents and loved ones may feel

scared, angry, frustrated, or

hopeless.
They may feel guilty and wonder
where they went wrong.
All these feelings are normal, but it
is important to understand that there
is help available to troubled kids and
their families.

Adolescent Behavior Problems Explained

ADD,

or attention-deficit disorder, is
an out-of-date term that was
previously used to describe children
who have difficulty paying attention,
but are not significantly impulsive or
hyperactivethe other two parts of
the triad of symptoms that define
what we now call ADHD, or attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder.

Understanding
the 11 Most
Destructive
Human Behaviors

Self-destruction
Compared with most animals, we
humans engage in a host of behaviors
that are destructive to our own kind and
to ourselves. We lie, cheat and steal,
carve ornamentations into our own
bodies, stress out and kill ourselves, and
of course kill others. Science has
provided much insight into why an
intelligent species seems so nasty,
spiteful, self-destructive and hurtful.

Lie
To lie =make a false statement with the
intention to deceive.
Nobody knows for sure why humans lie so
much, but studies find that it's common, and
that it's often tied to deep psychological
factors.
And lying is not easy. One study concluded that
lying takes 30 percent longer than telling the
truth.

Crave violence

Violence is found throughout recorded

human history, leading some
researchers to conclude that we crave
it, that it's in our genes and affects
reward centers in our brains.
However, going back millions of years,
evidence suggests our ancient human
ancestors were more peace-loving
than people today, though there are
signs of cannibalism among the

Steal
Take (another person's property)
without permission or legal right and
without intending to return it.
Theft can be motivated by need. But
for kleptomaniacs, stealing can be
motivated by the sheer thrill of it.

Cheat

they preach

Cling to bad habits

Perhaps everything else on this list
would be far less problematic if we
were not such creatures of habit. In
fact, studies have found that even
when the risks of a particular bad habit
are well-known, people find it hard to
quit.
"It's not because they haven't gotten
the information that these are big

Jardine, who has studied why

people cling to bad habits, cites
these reasons:
-- Innate human defiance
-- Need for social acceptance
-- Inability to truly understand the
nature of risk
-- Individualistic view of the world
and the ability to rationalize
unhealthy habits

Cling to the one who

clings to nothing; and
so clinging, cease to
cling

Bully
Bullying is when you keep picking
on someone because you think
youre cooler, smarter, stronger or
better than them.
Bullying includes actions such as
making threats, spreading rumors,
attacking someone physically or
verbally, and excluding someone
from a group on purpose.

Nip, Tuck, Plump and Tattoo

our Bodies
First, it's worth noting that while
options at the body shop have never
been more varied, the practice is
ancient, often tied to cults and
religions or power and status, and in
fact much of the modern nip, tuck,
paint, poke and plump procedures are
benign compared with some ancient
practices.

Stress out
Stress can be deadly, raising the risk
for heart problems and even cancer.
Stress can lead to depression, which
can lead to suicide yet another
destructive behavior that's uniquely
human.

Gamble

Gambling, too, seems to be in our

genes and hard-wired into our brains,
which might explain why such a
potentially ruinous behavior is so
common.

Gossip
We humans are evolutionarily set up to
judge and talk about others, no matter
how hurtful it might be, researchers
say.

Difference Between Manners and Behavior

Manners are codes of conduct that a person is

expected to exhibit in social contexts whereas

behavior is the reflection of the true nature of a
person
A person may show good manners and yet have a

poor behavior
If we think of a human personality, manners make

up the outer most layer whereas behavior is the

deeper nature of a person.

Attitude is the way we feel

a positive state of mind

a hostile or arrogant state of
mind
Behaviour is the way in which we
conduct ourselves
