  • Title: Symptom-based subfactors of DSM-defined conduct disorder: evidence for etiologic distinctions.
    Author: Tackett JL, Krueger RF, Iacono WG, McGue M.
    Journal: J Abnorm Psychol; 2005 Aug; 114(3):483-7. PubMed ID: 16117586.
    Abstract:
    Past research investigating the structure of conduct disorder (CD) symptoms has provided evidence of a phenotypic distinction between aggressive and rule-breaking subfactors of CD. However, evidence of etiologic distinctions between these subfactors has not been reported to date. In the current study, the authors investigated this issue in a sample of 1,151 male twins who were 17 years of age. The results indicate that aggressive and rule-breaking CD subfactors have both common and distinct etiologic influences, with shared environmental influences playing a significant role in rule-breaking behaviors. The authors discuss implications of these findings for the assessment and treatment of CD.
