Despite the high prevalence and the high social- and economic load, there is little research done into CD and its possible predictors. The current research attempted to understand the antisociality of boys with CD by means of socioeconomic status (SES). The level of aggression and the level of psychopathic traits have been investigated. The participants were 52 boys with CD, with an average age of 16.94 years. The participants filled out questionnaires, of which the level of aggression and the level of psychopathic traits was determined. The socioeconomic status was determined based on the postal code of the participants. The research showed no relationship between the SES and the level of aggression and psychopathic traits.Show less
