التصرف باندفاع
According to the dictionary, "to act out" can mean the following:
1. a) To perform in or as if in a play; represent dramatically: act out a story.
b) To realize in action: wanted to act out his theory.
2) To express (unconscious impulses, for example) in an overt manner without conscious understanding or regard for social appropriateness.
I assume in your list it has the second meaning, as it seems to be a list of negative habits/ characteristics.

تمثل عواطفه
In common US English, this refers to behavior that represents some unconcious meaning - the third item in Nesrin's citation. For example, troubled teenagers are said to "act out" when they behave obnoxiously or destructively, rather than articulating their frustrations verbally - i.e., they "perform" or "act out" their emotions, presumably because they lack the means to express themselves otherwise. I'm not sure how to express this in Arabic.

الشغب أو المشاغبة
Thank you for the full context.
According to American Heritage Dictionary, when "acting out" is used intransitively, it means pretty much the same as "acting up," namely "to misbehave" or "to behave disruptively."
