Genetic and environmental influences on conduct disorder: Symptom, domain and full-scale analyses

Article Abstract:

An investigation of the genetic and environmental influences on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) conduct disorder (CD) at the level of symptoms, aggressive versus non-aggressive domains, and full-scale is presented. Results suggest that CD assessed using DSM-IV criteria might show differing patterns of heritability compared with estimates obtained for other measures of antisocial behavior such as the Child Behavior Checklist.

Article Abstract:

A study is carried out to follow the pattern of effect of divorce on the behavioral/emotional problems in children. It concludes that children's behavioral/emotional adjustment during parental separation may not be entirely environmental as genetic vulnerability also contributes towards psychosocial stress.
