Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children with conduct disorder typically show less physiological arousal in response to stressors, not more. This is contrary to what is suggested in option C. Studies have found that children with conduct disorder often have a lower baseline heart rate and do not exhibit the expected increase in physiological arousal (such as heart rate and cortisol levels) in stressful situations, indicating a hypo-reactive stress response system.
