Crossing the covert-overt and destructive-nondestructive dimensions of conduct problems yields four quadrants of antisocial behavior. Describe behaviors in each of these quadrants

What will be an ideal response?


The overt–covert dimension ranges from overt visible acts such as fighting to covert hidden acts such as lying or stealing. Children who display overt antisocial behavior tend to be negative, irritable, and resentful in their reactions to hostile situations and to experience higher levels of family conflict (Kazdin, 1992). In contrast, those displaying covert antisocial behavior are less social, more anxious, and more suspicious of others and come from homes that provide little family support. The destructive–nondestructive dimension ranges from acts such as cruelty to animals or physical assault to nondestructive behaviors such as arguing or irritability.
