Table 3.

Total genetic and environmental variance of Antisocial Personality Disorder criteria and the percentages attributable to the common factor

Genetic variance Environmental variance
Criterion a2 Common factor% e2 Common factor%
1. Not conforming 0.41 74 0.59 48
2. Deceitfulness 0.36 54 0.64 28
3. Impulsivity, or failure to plan 0.44 57 0.56 41
4. Irritability/repeated fights 0.67 53 0.33 100
5. Reckless disregard 0.28 61 0.72 22
6. Irresponsibility 0.49 56 0.51 49
7. Lack of remorse 0.42 100 0.58 66

Note: the values correspond the best-fit model illustrated in the Figure 3. a2 = heritability or proportion of variance in liability to endorse a criterion because of genetic factors; e2 = proportion of variance in liability attributable to environmental factors. “Common factor%” refers to the percentage of the variance component that is attributable to the biometric common-pathway factor, the rest being attributable to the influences specific to the given criterion.
