What kind of aggressive behaviour does a lion display? And also defense strategies of a lion?
Q. Just some basic answers to help me with my college, Instinct and Behaviour assignement.
Asked by Em. - Tue Jan 22 12:24:14 2008 - Zoology - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Two male lions will roar at each other, flare and shake their manes and mock charge each other, perhaps with some paw slapping, while sizing each other up. If there is a clear disparity, the overmatched male usually leaves (often with the dominant male in hot pursuit to make sure he keeps going). It is only when males are relatively evenly matched that a serious fight will break out, when the males will grapple with one another with their claws and bite as well. These fights can be to the death, which is why most dominance issues are resolved by displays. As far as defense, lions don't have a lot to worry about except as cubs. By living in a pride and sharing cub rearing duties, the lions help to ensure that there is always an adult on… [cont.]

What is the behaviour that supports the dual nature of electromagnetic radiation?

A. Young's slit experiment: Photoelectric effect, slightly more complex. The principle behind the Photoelectric effect basically is that if light is a wave then the only factor which should affect the amount of electrons escaping the electrostatic attraction of the metal should be the amplitude (i.e. the amount of energy in the wave) but not the frequency of the wave- doesn t matter how many times you hit a lorry with a hammer, its never going to move. Also, if the light waves amplitude is too low, then you get no electrons escaping from the electrostatic force, because the waves won t transfer enough energy to liberate them themselves. But Planck s constant, which is referred to as h, and apparently h=6.626x10^(-34 )Joules, showed that… [cont.]

How can I help a child with autism manage his behaviour?
Q. I am a preschool teacher in an integrated childcare centre, and I have a child with autism in my class. I have never worked closely with a child with autism before, and he seems to have trouble managing his behaviour. He mainly hits, kicks, and pushes the other children. What strategies can I use to help him learn other methods of expressing his upset with the other children?
Asked by Kitty_Kat - Tue Jan 15 19:27:56 2008 - Special Education - 10 Answers - 1 Comments

A. I would use a social story with him...they are simple short stories that help the child learn to self monitor his behavior. I would also try a token system of reinforcement, something that you can show him easily and discreetly to let him know that he is displaying appropriate behavior, keeping hands and feet to self, for a small discreet reward. If he does start to have a tantrum or start to display negative behaviors and can't calm down try removing him from the situation, and letting him have a small area, "break room" where he can deal with his frustrations. hope this helps, i included links for information on social stories.

How does Western popular music culture Influence the behaviour of the Far Eastern youth?
Q. In your opinion, what impacts and influences did the popular music of Western countries, such as the UK and the US, have on the behaviour of Far Eastern Asian youth, such as Japan, South Korea, China and Thailand, culturally - in considerations of fashion, dancing styles, music consumption, ways of communication, body language etc?

A. It seems to me that since the US had such a big role in making technological advances, as communication improved and people around the world saw what we were doing, they joined in to be part of the new action. Of course they put their own spin on dance and song lyrics and style, but they all played follow the leader.

What examples of animals exhibit antisocial behaviour? Or what examples of animal behaviour can be considered?
Q. antisocial? Humans are just another animals right, and our brains are very similar to other mammals. And antisocial behaviour can be attributed to brain malfunctions. So, I just wanted to clear up any of my lingering ideas of "evil" (which is commonly associated with antisocial people) and to ensure it's just a brain-wired thing. So crocodiles, idk dogs?
Asked by mugatu5000 - Sat Nov 13 17:05:15 2010 - Psychology - 1 Answers - Comments

A. Most animals have had more generations to evolve in their habitats and social groups than humans have had. Crocodiles, for example, have been crocodiles for over 200 million years. In that time, their behaviors have become finely-tuned to their situation. Humans have within us the instincts and behavior patterns of ancestors that lived in widely different environments and social groups. We have the habits of hunters, scavengers, frugivorous apes, sexual opportunists, pair-bonding forms, and other behaviors. We have only been humans for a short time, in evolutionary terms, and as a result, our instincts and behaviors are often in conflict; we have not been human long enough to clearly sort out innate behaviors and instincts consistent with… [cont.]

Is it possible to differentiate between culturally conditioned behaviour & innate behaviour?
Q. Does anyone know if researchers can differentiate between learned and innate behaviour in cross cultural studies ? If a child does not 'fit in' to a cultural group that they were born into how is that explained by sociologists? Are the limitations of the culture perceived as too restrictive for that personality type? Thanks for the thoughtful and interesting response. You've got me thinking...what about introverted intuitives born into western culture...maybe their genetically determined personalities would feel a greater sense of belonging, acceptance and comfort in an eastern culture.

A. That's the "nature vs. nurture" debate. It's been going on for a very long time and it will hardly be resolved.Still, the primal cause of some behaviors can be debatable, but others clearly belong to one group. In general, what is in stake is to find universal behaviors, that is, some kind of response that you will always find regardless of the specific society you are studying. Common examples are crying when in pain and laughing when happy. Culturally conditioned behavior will be the opposite. That is, when confronted with the same stimulus people react differently conditioned by their specific culture. Common example is food. Some cultures find it disgusting to eat pork, others find it immoral to eat veal, and others think… [cont.]

Asked by swordbuster - Sat Oct 23 17:36:53 2010 - Psychology - 3 Answers - Comments

A. Human nature is when we do what we are expected to do. A good example of this is for a mother or father to get worried when their child gets sick. That means it is something that just naturally happens when we are faced with a certain situation. Human behavior is what we choose to do. A good example of human behavior is when a crook robs a store. He chooses to do that on my his own. It isn't a natural instinct--it is something he plans out before he does it. Hope that helps!

What sign tends to go develop sexual inadequacies and revert to childish behaviour?
Q. Or what aspect would cause this behaviour? Is there codes of behaviour in Canada and the US?
Asked by Aries - Wed Jun 17 14:51:59 2009 - Horoscopes - 2 Answers - Comments

A. Could be any sun sign. Aspects of Pluto to Mars perhaps, but it would be specific to the motivation of the behaviour, so your question is a bit too general to answer that part of it. Some actions are motivated by lust, some by power, some by ego...all of those would show differently in a chart. Of course there are codes of behaviour in Canada and the US, but that's not associated with astrology or horoscopes so there's no point of asking about them here; again, are you referring to moral codes or legal codes, because there's a great variety in each area.

A. Well, hun, four weeks is very young to be away from the mother. I'm not sure if this rabbit came from a litter of yours or not, but the rabbit kit should have freely nursed until 6-8 weeks of age. Also, please be cautious about what you are feeding these rabbits because at this young of age, their digestive system and immune system is not fully mature. As far as the behavior change, it will happen. Most rabbits reach sexual maturity around 3-4 months of age and that is when their behavior can turn. The females (does) can become cage aggressive and may lunge at you, bite or scratch you when you enter the cage. The males (bucks) will spray urine and fight with other males as a result of territorial behavior. And please, keep in mind that… [cont.]

A. Let it out of the cage...if it flies away...that's a pretty good sign! Seriously though, birds have an unusual behavior, you will surely notice any behavioral changes if there is any sort of disaster about to occur, for instance your bird might start whistling quite erratic and fluttering around it's cage. also watch to see if it starts storing food and eating sparingly, unless it is in a panic and then it just won't eat at all, finally, you said the bird is hand raised, being very social it might get clingy by flying to you and not wanting to leave your presence of protection.

If these good behaviour tapes work will the same concept work for other things?
Q. There was a story on an a current affair program tonight about a mother who put good behavior tapes (cassette tapes) as her children slept. Now her children are like angels. It's brainwash basically. So if these tapes work for good behaviour could they work for other things too? Like cutting all junk food out of your diet? Or to stop procrastinating on things etc. Al you'd have to do is buy a tape saying these things or make one of your own.
