Question

Write a brief note on problem behaviour.

Answer 1

Problem behaviour refers to behaviour that creates difficulty for the individual or for others and affects normal adjustment in daily life. It may appear in the form of aggression, excessive fear, anxiety, withdrawal, disobedience, lying, poor social adjustment or emotional outbursts. Such behaviour may develop because of family problems, stress, frustration, peer pressure, emotional conflicts or unsuitable environmental conditions. If problem behaviour continues for a long time, it may affect the person’s relationships, studies, work and emotional well-being.
