- Title
An Introduction to the Special Issue: Developmental Behavior Genetics and Externalizing Psychopathology.
- Authors
Elam, Kit K.; DiLalla, Lisabeth Fisher
- Abstract
This is supported by longitudinal research on gene-environment interplay identifying gene by environment interaction (G × E) and gene-environment correlation ( I r i GE) effects underlying externalizing outcomes (e.g., Elam et al. [7]; Rabinowitz et al., [20]). Late Childhood and Adolescence Five studies examined direct genetic effects and/or gene-environment interplay in accounting for externalizing behavior in late childhood and adolescence. Externalizing behavior is a broad construct encompassing various forms of aggression, delinquency, behavioral disinhibition, and substance use. Future behavior genetic studies that include more information about different social groups and sociocultural influences can help clarify ways in which genes and environments interact to affect externalizing problem behaviors.
