Explanation:

In psychology, intimidation is perceived as a maladaptive outgrowth of normal competitive urge for interrelational dominance. People who display intimidating behavior are often connecting such behavior to self-empowerment, seeing it as a useful way to get what they want from others. In children, intimidation is displayed by those who usually feel intimidated by other children, or even their parents and caretakers. Among the forms of intimidation, we can mention physical threat, emotional manipulation, verbal abuse, and physical assault.
