In a relationship in which other people don"t matter to you: difficult temperament. Impulsivity: lower empathy, lower consciousness, not taking personal responsibility, not accepting when you are accountable yourself, deficient problem solving ability. I deserve it but i can"t afford it, i"ll take it. If i am more sensitized to threat, will i be more inclined to act: self-promotion goals (e. g. risk-taking, maximize personal gains, establish or increase dominance) Likelyhood of acting is based on these influences. Psych 230 lecture 5 - investigations and deception. Need to be sensitive as well as observant and able to adjust to the person being interviewed.
