Human behaviour is intrinsic to say the least and certain unintentional actions by a person can reveal the state of that person. Human behaviour is influenced by culture, attitudes, emotions, values, ethics, authority, rapport and so on. A person can become aggressive when he or she is faced with an unsettling situation, and their aggressiveness need not necessarily be in the form of physical or vocal outbursts. It can be in the form of non-cooperation, or by showing signs of anxiety and restlessness. Elizabeth Hutchinson (2011), in Dimensions of Human Behavior, looks at certain theories that can be applied to ...
