Preferred term

externalizing behavior  

Definition

  • Externalizing behavior, also labeled risk behavior, undercontrolled behavior, conduct disorder, and, more generally, problem behavior, can be defined as a set of two related syndromes: rule-breaking behavior and aggressive behavior. Children showing externalizing behavior are more inclined to fighting, bullying, disobedience, lying, and petty theft.
