哥伦比亚县纵向研究是一项为期 40 年的纵向研究，跟踪整个县 8 岁至 48 岁的三年级学生群体，利用该数据，我们研究了有关儿童期、青春期和成年初期攻击性和反社会行为的长期后果的问题。我们发现，从 8 岁到 48 岁，男性和女性都有中等程度的持续性攻击行为。与一些人提出的相反，我们发现攻击性的连续性不仅是因为高攻击性参与者保持高水平，而且还因为低攻击性参与者保持低水平。与终生持续的低攻击性者相比，我们发现终生持续性高攻击性者在 48 岁时在生活成功、犯罪行为和心理社会功能（例如逮捕、交通违规、对配偶的攻击和离婚、抑郁、健康、职业和教育程度）方面的结果始终较差。相比之下，青少年时期和儿童时期的攻击行为与终生持续的低攻击行为在 48 岁时的结果没有差异。最后，晚发（成年早期）攻击行为的结果在某些领域也存在问题，尽管不像生命历程中持续攻击行为的问题那么严重。
Using data from the Columbia County Longitudinal Study, a 40-year longitudinal study following an entire county’s population of third-grade students from age 8 to 48, we examine questions about the long-term consequences of aggressive and antisocial behavior in childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. We found moderate levels of continuity of aggression from age 8 to 48 both for males and for females. Contrary to what some have proposed, we found that continuity of aggressiveness is owing to not only the high-aggressive participants staying high but also owing to the low-aggressive participants staying low. Compared with life-course-persistent low aggressives, we found that life-course-persistent high aggressives had consistently poorer outcomes across domains of life success, criminal behavior, and psychosocial functioning at age 48 (e.g., arrests, traffic violations, aggression toward spouse and divorces, depression, health, occupational and educational attainment). In contrast, adolescent-limited and child-limited aggressives did not differ from life-course-persistent low aggressives on the age 48 outcomes. Finally, the outcomes for late-onset (early adulthood) aggressives were also problematic in some domains though not as problematic as those for life-course-persistent aggressives.
