Note. Full rA = full sex-limitation model allowing for quantitative sex differences, qualitative genetic sex differences, and sex differences in phenotypic variances. Full rC = full sex-limitation model allowing for quantitative sex differences, qualitative shared-environmental sex differences, and sex differences in phenotypic variances. Common = common effects model allowing for quantitative sex differences and sex differences in phenotypic variances. Scalar = scalar model allowing for sex differences in phenotypic variances. A, C, and E = the proportion of variance in childhood conduct disorder explained by additive genetic, shared environmental, and non-shared environmental influences, respectively. DZOS = opposite-sex dizygotic twin pairs. rA = the genetic correlation among opposite-sex twin pairs. rC = the shared environmental correlation among opposite-sex twin pairs. 95% confidence intervals are in brackets for the full sex-limitation model and the best-fitting model (in bold). A confidence interval listed as “-” indicates that the confidence interval was not estimated because the parameter was not model estimated.
