Document Summary
Pride (killing someone who bumps into you - someone wronged you) Iep (intermittent explosive disorder) : recurrent episodes of aggression involving violence or destruction of property that are out of proportion to the provocation/precipitating stressors. Sensation seeking : a tendency to seek novel experiences and excitement often in an impulsive way. When this is combined with anger and trait hostility, there is an increased likelihood to use aggression in interpersonal disputes and an increased desire to retaliate against persons who are viewed as threats. Low self-control causes crime and other forms of negative or maladaptive behaviors. The reason that serious criminal offenders also often smoke, drink, abuse drugs, cheat on spouses, abandon families, and more is because of a lack of self control. Low gratification delay : persons with this tendency crave immediate gratification of their desires and have considerable difficulty waiting for longer term rewards.
