As part of his early socialisation, Leo is repeatedly told off by his football coach for deliberately tripping other children. Leo is high in extraversion and neuroticism, but soon repeats the behaviour.
According to Eysenck, why does being told off fail to stop Leo tripping other children?
His high neuroticism leaves him too calm to be upset by it.
He has copied the tripping from older players he looks up to.
He does not learn to link tripping other children with anxiety.
The telling-off gives him attention, which rewards the tripping.
