Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Twin studies have consistently found a high degree of concordance for antisocial behaviors in monozygotic twins (sharing 100% of their genetic material). The concordance rate is often reported as approximately 50%, indicating that if one twin exhibits antisocial behaviors, there is a 50% chance that the other twin will also exhibit these behaviors. This suggests a strong genetic component to antisocial behavior.
