Figure 3. Final Model.

Figure 3

The final model incorporates a latent antisocial outcome variable and a latent genetic predictor variable. The latent genetic variable represents the underlying genetic level manifested by the 8 available genes. The latent antisocial variable represents the antisocial level manifested by 14 available delinquency indicators. The latent genetic variable is significantly predictive of the antisocial construct (β=0.413; p=0.006) and accounts for 16% of the variance in the latent antisocial variable score. The dashed line for NR3C2 indicates that the coefficient for this gene in the Final model has a negative sign (indicating that the more frequently occurring genotype C is associated with an increased risk of antisocial behaviour when considered in combination with the other genes.
