Indiana Jones is a prime example of a good guy, Type T action-seeking individual. When Type T individuals carry a large amount of anger, they tend to engage in activities that are harmful to others but are exciting and reinforcing to themselves. Bonnie and Clyde are examples of antisocial Type T individuals who lacked the skill of respecting others and their property. Gang members are often angry individuals who seek novel, dangerous activities through law breaking and intimidation of others. Children who start early in life to hurt others and then are rejected by their peers are most likely to seek out gangs.
Gangs are groups of people who collectively engage in bully behavior.
Children who have poor self esteem seek to find an identity in being a gang member. Members of gangs are taught new ways of intimidation and extortion in the gang by the older leaders. The aggressive behavior is highly reinforced by peers' submissiveness. The sense of exaggerated pride, injustice, and feeling entitled to use and hurt others becomes set. That orgullo gets in the way of young people trying to go straight.
