Behavioral cusp

Behavioral cusp is when you act one way in one situation, and another way in a different situation. For example, if your teacher asks you to be quiet in class, you might be quiet, but if your friends are playing a game, you might be loud and excited. This is because in one situation you know the rules and have to be quiet, and in the other situation you can be loud because your friends don't mind.
