Note: Degrees of freedom (df) that include decimals indicate t-tests that violated the homogeneity of variance assumption, which we corrected with the use of Welch t-test. MAOA, Monoamine oxidase A genotype; MP, maternal punitiveness; HAB, hostile attributional bias; ARG, aggressive response generation; VA, violent attitudes; OAR, official arrest record; EA, early adulthood; AB, antisocial behavior; AA, African American; CA, Caucasian American.
