Question

Some psychologists have suggested a link between antisocial personality disorder and criminality. In one study, researchers followed 1,000 5-year-old children for a 10-year period. What did they find regarding the children who were considered at-risk for developing delinquent behaviors

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In the study that is being described the researchers discovered that children with lower IQs tended to have more run-ins with the law than those with higher IQs. Similar studies have shown that this is due to the lack of knowledge that prevents the children from having opportunities that would otherwise present themselves if they were to gain the necessary knowledge. Therefore with this lack of options, these children tend to steer themselves towards criminal activity.
