Abstract

There is substantial agreement among both researchers and practitioners to classify behaviors into internalizing and externalizing categories (Cosgrove et al., 2011; Guttmannova, Szanyi, & Cali, 2007). Externalizing behaviors are identified as “undercontroled” behaviors. Children whose behavior is undercontroled have difficulty with peers, break rules, tend to be irritable, and are typically belligerent. Physical fighting, bullying, using weapons, making verbal threats, and impulsive aggression are externalizing behaviors (Rappaport & Thomas, 2004). Antisocial behavior predicts failure at school, rejection by normative classmates, making increasing connections with deviant peers, and getting involved in negative acts (Berkout, Young, & Gross, 2011). This may be the easiest way for some students to get rewards from their environments.
