“…These studies have typically identified between 4 and 7 classes of antisocial behavior trajectories, including the life-course-persistent group, adolescent-limited group, and a low antisocial group. Additional classes have been revealed, including a childhood-limited group who exhibit severe conduct problems in childhood but desist from antisocial behavior by adolescence [1,19,37,38]. Studies using official records have identified a group with an adult-onset offending pattern [13,48], but evidence is mixed using self-report data.…”

Introduction This study aimed to contribute to the existing literature by testing whether the same classes of antisocial behavior typically uncovered in the literature would be revealed with the additional information about heterotypic antisocial behavior. We investigated the development of men's antisocial behavior in its homotypic and heterotypic forms from age 12 to 30 years in a large representative sample. Material and methods Data were drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. This study included 3639 male participants from 6 birth cohorts (1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982), first assessed in 1995 and followed up to [2008][2009]. Homotypic antisocial behavior comprised items that were assessed at every wave, and heterotypic antisocial behavior comprised adolescent-and adult-specific items. Group-based modeling was used to identify classes of antisocial behavior. Results Five trajectories were identified: low, life-course-persistent, adolescent-limited, moderate declining, and adult-peak. Conclusion By including heterotypic items, we showed that a group whose antisocial behavior is typically identified as emerging in adulthood was already engaging in moderate levels of antisocial behavior in adolescence. The implications of sample characteristics and forms of antisocial behavior for accurate classification are discussed.

“…Many research findings have indicated that aggressive behavior may be influenced by gender, since it is commonly observed that men exhibit more conduct problems than women (Huesmann, Dubow, & Boxer, 2009;Moffitt, Caspi, Rutter, & Silva, 2001;Zheng & Cleveland, 2013). Moreover, several studies have indicated that men show more physical aggression than women (Archer, 2009;Buss & Perry, 1992;Tsorbatzoudis, Travlos, & Rodafinos, 2013).…”

Título: La Agresión como variable predictora de la Respuesta Matutina de Cortisol en adultos jóvenes. Resumen: Parece que el cortisol (C) se relacionaría de forma inversa con el comportamiento agresivo, pero esta relación ha sido más claramente establecida con el cortisol vespertino. Sin embargo, la relación con la respuesta matutina de cortisol (CAR) y la influencia del género y la fase del ciclo no estaría tan clara. Este estudio analiza dicha relación en 83 mujeres (38 en fase lútea y 45 en fase folicular del ciclo menstrual) y 20 hombres. La CAR se obtuvo a partir de muestras de saliva recogidas inmediatamente y después del despertar (a los 30, 45 y 60 minutos después). Además, los participantes cumplimentaron un autoinforme de agresión. Los hombres presentan niveles más bajos de CAR que las mujeres en fase lútea y una mayor agresión fí-sica que las mujeres, independientemente de la fase del ciclo en la que se encuentren. Respecto a las relaciones entre las variables, en los hombres la agresión en general y la verbal predijeron la CAR en hombres. En mujeres, la agresión verbal predijo la CAR durante la fase folicular, mientras que la ira y la agresión física durante la lútea. Nuestra investigación apoya que existiría una relación negativa entre el C y las conductas agresivas, incluso con los niveles de C matutino. Además, la relación entre ambas variables fue moderada por el género y por la fase del ciclo menstrual en el caso de las mujeres. Estos resultados podrían incrementar el conocimiento existente sobre los mecanismos envueltos en la violencia. Palabras clave: agresión; respuesta matutina de cortisol; género; ciclo menstrual; sano; joven.Abstract. It seems that aggressive behavior is negatively related to cortisol (C), but this relationship has been established considering the evening C levels. On the other hand, the relationship with the C awakening response (CAR) and the influence of gender and menstrual cycle phase are not well understood. This study analyzed this relationship in 83 women (38 in the luteal and 45 in the follicular phase of their menstrual cycle) and 20 men. CAR was assessed by measuring salivary free cortisol levels in samples taken immediately following awakening and 30, 45, and 60 minutes later. Additionally, participants completed a self-report of aggression. Men presented lower CAR than women in the luteal phase. Moreover, they also had higher levels of physical aggression than women, independently of their menstrual phase. Regarding the relationships between variables, in men general aggression and verbal aggression predicted the CAR. In women, verbal aggression predicted the CAR during the follicular phase, whereas anger and physical aggression were predictors during the luteal phase. Our data support the view that there is a negative relationship between C and aggressive behavior, even during the morning, this relationship being moderated by gender and menstrual cycle phase in the women. These findings may help improve our understanding of the biological mechanisms involved i...

“…In addition, earlier aggression may lead to several behavioral and social disorders in adolescence and adulthood; for instance, alcohol and drug abuse, violence, depression, suicide attempts, spouse abuse, and neglectful and abusive parenting [14,15]. Longitudinal studies show that negative outcomes tend to be more severe in children whose aggressive behaviors were established already in early childhood in comparison to those children whose aggressive behaviors were established later on, during early adulthood [16].…”

Objectives: To investigate social functioning and mental wellbeing in 13-15 year-old adolescents in Iran and Finland, in order to explore potential cultural and gender-based differences during early adolescence. Methods:One thousand and one (1001) adolescents from Iran and 2205 adolescents from Finland (age range 13-15 years) filled in a questionnaire consisting of the following scales: the Mini Direct and Indirect Aggression Scale (Mini-DIA), the Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Children (SEQ-C), the School Burnout Inventory (SBI), and the Multidimensional Scale for Perceived Social Support Assessment (MSPSSA).Results: Iranian boys scored highest on Aggression, Victimization, and School Burnout, and lowest on Social Support, Academic Self-Efficacy, and Interpersonal Self-Efficacy. The Finnish boys scored highest on Interpersonal Self-Efficacy and Emotional Self-Efficacy, and lowest on School Burnout and Victimization. Finnish girls had the highest scores on Social Support and Academic Self-Efficacy, but the lowest on Aggression and Emotional SelfEfficacy. The Iranian girls did not have any highest or lowest scores in this sample.Conclusion: Clear differences due to culture and gender were found. It appears that Iranian boys, despite their higher societal status than girls, experience their school environment as more stressful than Iranian girls do, and than Finnish boys do as well. The findings are discussed.
