Father-son resemblances in aggressive and antisocial behaviour

MA Stewart and CS deBlois

At a child psychiatry clinic 122 boys were scored on scales of aggressiveness, noncompliance and antisocial behaviour. Their biological fathers were scored on aggressiveness and antisocial behaviour. The fathers' scores were modestly but significantly correlated with those of their sons. The correlations were also computed separately for the 64 boys whose biological fathers were no longer in the home and for the 58 whose fathers had stayed. Father-son resemblances for the latter group were considerably higher than those observed in the whole sample, and for the father-absent group were insignificant.
