What will be an ideal response?


Randall's behavior can be explained through Horney's trend of moving against people (the aggressive personality) as illustrated by his fighting and his intimidating behavior in school and his potentially harmful bomb-making behavior. This trend consists of the needs for power, social recognition and personal admiration, as illustrated by Randall's wanting respect from other students.
