Best Answer

Mostly because the person has a disorder such as A.D.D, (Attention Deficient Disorder) So overall people misbehave to get attention and get an even better reputation in front of their peers... Another reasons is the person misbehaving is suicidal or emotionally challenged... They see life as dark, damp and worthless therefore they use their life to do things they think would help, which brings me to another point... The last more likely reason people misbehave is they are defending something they believe is right... They would march, or rebel against someone else for something they have done wrong, and to the community this is called "Mis-behaving"

*Mis-behaving*- The opposite of behaving, to not behold top quality or quality manners.

Why don't people mind their own business?

The huge success of reality TV is a good indication of how many people are interested in what others are doing. A majority of the American people seem to drool over watching celebrities, and made for TV celebrities, misbehave and act grossly on camera. Social media has provided millions of people the ability to monitor what others are doing, and more importantly, to share what others are doing with the world, whether we want to know or not. There is absolutely no public policy in this current age urging people to mind their own business. In fact, the game is to mind everyone else's business and be the first to broadcast it. There are seemingly no restrictions about broadcasting names, photos of others, private and privileged conversations, etc. If you want others to not mind your business you need to take precautions not to share your business in any way.


Who is more likely to have peer pressure?

sadly, people who are 'different' tend to be targeted with peer pressure - many attack those who are 'different' in the hope that they will change and fit in... this idea angers me so much! also, those who choose not to smoke, or drink or misbehave or break rules in any way may be likely to 'have' peer pressure. the idea that 'if you don't do what we do, you'll be shunned and then you'll have no friends' is used a lot in every friendship(!) circle. < this is what causes many to act as they do: the fear that if they do not do what everyone else does, they will have no one, this leads to them not even acting like themselves, and having to portray themselves as a fake in order to have 'friends'. I think it is ridiculous that people have to change their personality to have friends; it is ALWAYS best to be yourself, as someone will always love you for it :)


What is the Hawthorne effect and why is it important to managers?

The Hawthorne Effect is a theory that states that a person being watched or observed will act or behave differently, simply because they know they are being observed. This is important to managers as it has lot to do with how to properly motivate your workforce. If a manager has an office which is made of glass, so he can see his workers, they are less likely to misbehave due to the fact that there is possibility the manager is watching you. The aim is to increase productivity.


What is the difference between misbehavior and mistaken behavior?

If you mean 'behavioral mistakes', a mistake concerning behavior is simply a mistake. For example, if you mistakenly believed your mother got off work at 4:30 so you placed a call to her cell phone at 4:35, but she worked until 6pm, it would be a mistake rather than a deliberate wrongdoing. Misbehavior, however, often includes 'intent', when someone (often a child or teen) does something they know is wrong or that violates family rules. For example, the Smith family has a 9pm curfew, but the Jones family lets their kids run the neighborhood until 11pm. If a Smith child tries to stay out till 11pm, it would be deliberate misbehavior. However, young children often "misbehave". When a child is very young, before they completely understand and remember rules, he/she may misbehave, but their misbehavior is not always intentional. This is why parents need to start early and continually teach rules and expectations as well as model "good behaviors".
