Question

Neither Ramona nor Judy, both age 8, are able to get along with their classmates, although these girls have very different personalities. The school counselor has told the teacher that Ramona has externalizing tendencies, while Judy has internalizing tendencies. What behaviors would you expect from Ramona and Judy? What is the self-esteem risk for each girl?

Answer 1

In simple words, Ramona will demonstrate that she is operating on her imminent feelings and exhibiting hostility in her character. Judy might reveal she has extreme anxiety as well as public reactivity.

Ramona will get even more interested in disputes and lolly gagging whereas Judy might be cautious and holding back from human contact.

Ego-esteem threats to each female entail either girls may feel embarrassed about herself for having being too negative or not matching in with their acts.
