"antisocial boys" duh of course the experiment is gonna fail. it's just lord of the flies all over again. + jordan peterson is a dick.
Oh, so there is some magical power that affects the way the boys are going to react based on one term that is even perfectly valid. Do you even know they said to the boys "Oh you are antisocial", I am pretty sure it is an term used in the afterhand to explain what kind of kids we have to deal with.
there was an experiment where a group of boys and a group of girls where locked inside this house, with no parental control. the boys ripped it apart and fought constantly, so they had to cut it short. the girls made aliances, delegated chores, cleaned and took care of each other. it shows a very clear picture of what the problem actually is - socialisation of girls and boys.

besides these antisocial boys, are typically boys who has underlying issues, mental instability, abuse at home, delevopment disorders etc. then sticking them in fancy schools and forcing them to be around their peers, which they significally distrust, isn't gonna make them magically social. it's only gonna aggreviate the problem further and make them both more a target and more prone to at-risk behaviour, usually with violence towards others.
then to the topic of the less antisocial kids becoming more aggressive, is simple the same as before aggreviation - if they can't get the social stimuli they need, they'll act out.
First, I am pretty sure this study took the "having bad at home"-factor into consideration. Remember, they followed these kids closely, I am pretty sure they knew how they had it at home. Overall, it is just a lie that most kids that act out aggressively does have it bad at home. Majority doesn't. Sure, there are some, but in many cases, they do not. They simply have a more predatory personality partly based on genetics. I also saw a video ones (again, from the legitimate psychologist Jordan Peterson) that doeíng mean things actually is something addicitve for the brain. That means that you start to get doses of dopamine, and this will expand the vulnerability for making mean things again and again, and it becomes a bad circle.
