Antisocial adolescents are more likely to view social provocations as a challenge to their perceived superiority or dominance.

Explanation:

Antisocial adolescents have little respect for social situations, so if they find themselves in circumstances that most people can handle, they may feel excessively threatened by the event.

As a result they may retaliate by striking back, often in a fearless physical confrontation that could be devastating for those around them at the time.

Antisocial adolescents also have little respect for financial obligations or economic concerns and see them as social provocations.

They cannot hold onto employment for very long, are inefficient or disinterested workers, and they do not care about the work environment.
