Abstract

Behavior is the way we react; it may also mean how a person’s actions fit
society’s ideas of right and wrong (Bird et al. 2002).
Behavior may be affected during childhood by heredity, environment,
learning conditions and positive reinforcements. Like the physical growth,
behavior too is strongly influenced by the early conditions the child exposed to in
the early years of life (Hamouda 2001).
Conduct disorders (CD) are a group of behavioral disorders that appear
during childhood and adolescence. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), conduct disorders may be
diagnosed when a child seriously misbehaves with aggressive behavior against
people, animals or a property. Conduct disorder is a repetitive and persistent
pattern of behavior in which the basic rights of others, or major rules and values of
society are violated (American Psychiatric Association 1999).
