TLDR
A meta-analysis of 95 studies was conducted to investigate the relations of heart rate (HR) and electrodermal activity (EDA) with aggression, psychopathy, and conduct problems, revealing a complex constellation of interactive effects.
Abstract
A meta-analysis of 95 studies was conducted to investigate the relations of heart rate (HR) and electrodermal activity (EDA) with aggression, psychopathy, and conduct problems Analyses revealed a complex constellation of interactive effects, with a failure in some cases of autonomic patterns to generalize across antisocial spectrum behavior constructs Low resting EDA and low task EDA were associated with psychopathy/sociopathy and conduct problems However, EDA reactivity was positively associated with aggression and negatively associated with psychopathy/sociopathy Low resting HR and high HR reactivity were associated with aggression and conduct problems Physiology--behavior relations varied with age and stimulus valence in several cases Empirical and clinical implications are discussed

The significance of insecure attachment and disorganization in the development of children's externalizing behavior: a meta-analytic study.

TL;DR: This study addresses the extent to which insecure and disorganized attachments increase risk for externalizing problems using meta-analysis and discusses the potential significance of attachment for mental health.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Adaptive Calibration Model of stress responsivity.

TL;DR: The Adaptive Calibration Model is presented, an evolutionary-developmental theory of individual differences in the functioning of the stress response system that extends the theory of biological sensitivity to context (BSC) and provides an integrative framework for future research in the field.

An integrative theory of attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder based on the cognitive and affective neurosciences.

TL;DR: In this article, the joint operations of frontostriatal and frontocerebellar neural loops in detecting and predicting what and when important events in the environment will occur and their interaction with frontoamygdala loops in assigning emotional significance to these events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psychopathic, not psychopath: taxometric evidence for the dimensional structure of psychopathy.

TL;DR: The results across these procedures offer no compelling support for the contention that psychopathy is a taxonic construct and contradict previous reports that Psychopathy is underpinned by a latent taxon.

Statistical Methods for Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model for estimating the effect size from a series of experiments using a fixed effect model and a general linear model, and combine these two models to estimate the effect magnitude.

Adolescence-limited and life-course-persistent antisocial behavior: A developmental taxonomy.

TL;DR: It is suggested that delinquency conceals 2 distinct categories of individuals, each with a unique natural history and etiology: a small group engages in antisocial behavior of 1 sort or another at every life stage, whereas a larger group is antisocial only during adolescence.
