prostitution lead to her finding of an extreme psychopathic character. Her social interaction had
made her defenseless against the enticement of carrying out criminal acts. Social learning
hypothesis sees human conduct as being demonstrated through perception of human social
interactions, straightforwardly from noticing the activities of people around them.

granddad's cruel harsh conduct towards her sibling and experienced it herself (Bankston, 2018).
Studies show that people who experience actual maltreatment at a youthful age become more
inclined to utilize viciousness in adulthood (Siegel, 2018). Wuornos experienced actual
maltreatment, yet sexual maltreatment also. Her granddad explicitly attacked her and permitted
his colleagues exploit her as well (Bankston, 2018). Herr granddads' antagonistic disposition,
animosity, and brutality were reflected by Wuornos. The interaction may have a prize hence it is
bound to be duplicated, while those that are rebuffed are kept away from (Siegel, 2018). Her
granddad's prize was the force he had over them. The utilization of viciousness prompted cash
and materialistic belongings acquired from her casualties, however it likewise gave her control
over the men she murdered. The force she picked up from her casualties spoke to the force she
lost to her granddad. Her childhood negatively affected her life decisions.
