DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): While it is well-known that antisocial behavior runs in families, surprisingly little is known about the specific mechanisms by which it is transmitted from one generation to the next. While the intergenerational transmission paradigm is becoming increasingly influential in addressing this issue, very few such studies are prospective, include both parents, focus on early mechanisms, and address female as well as male antisocial behavior. Importantly, none to date have examined biological influences on transgenerational continuity and change, or how they interact with social factors in modulating the transmission of antisocial behavior. The proposed three-generation study attempts to address these gaps in knowledge by capitalizing on a novel design in which I ,795 males and females were tested on psychophysiological, behavioral, nutritional, and cognitive measures at age 3, while their first-generation parents were assessed on psychosocial influences. These second-generation three-year-olds are now aged 30 years and will be retested, together with their third-generation three-year-old offspring, on psychophysiological, psychosocial, cognitive, behavioral, parenting, and antisocial behavior measures. Both the second generation parent and their previously untested spouse will be tested on psychophysiological measures, together with measures of life stress, daily hassles, family conflict, mental illness, and criminal behavior. The study will also assess whether a nutritional, exercise, and educational enrichment from ages 3-5 years in 100 of the second generation subjects, which has lead to increased physiological arousal and attention at age 11 years and reduced conduct disorder at age 17 years, disrupts the intergenerational transmission of antisocial behavior from the second to third generations. It is thought that the study offers a truly unique opportunity to understand the unexplored issue of how biological influences interact with social contexts in either blocking or facilitating the intergenerational transmission of antisocial and aggressive behavior. This new knowledge, if further developed, could contribute to a new generation of more effective prevention programs for reducing antisocial and violent behavior.

描述（由申请人提供）：虽然众所周知，反社会行为 行为在家庭中遗传，令人惊讶的是，人们对具体行为知之甚少 它从一代传给下一代的机制。尽管 代际传播范式正变得越来越普遍 对解决这个问题有影响力，很少有这样的研究是前瞻性的， 包括父母双方，重点关注早期机制，并解决女性和女性问题 男性反社会行为。重要的是，迄今为止还没有人对生物学进行过研究 对跨代连续性和变化的影响，或者它们如何相互作用 社会因素调节反社会行为的传播。 拟议的三代研究试图解决这些知识差距 通过利用新颖的设计，对 795 名男性和女性进行了测试 年龄心理生理、行为、营养和认知测量 3，而他们的第一代父母接受了心理社会评估 影响。这些二代三岁孩子现在已经30岁了， 将与他们的第三代三岁孩子一起重新测试 后代，关于心理生理学、社会心理、认知、行为、 育儿和反社会行为措施。双方都是二代父母 他们以前未经测试的配偶将接受心理生理测试 措施，以及生活压力、日常麻烦、家庭的措施 冲突、精神疾病和犯罪行为。该研究还将评估 是否为 3-5 岁提供营养、锻炼和教育强化 在 100 名第二代受试者中，这导致 11岁时出现生理唤醒和注意力，行为减少 17岁时患上这种疾病，扰乱了代际传递 第二代到第三代的反社会行为。 人们认为这项研究提供了一个真正独特的机会来了解 生物影响如何与社会环境相互作用这一尚未探索的问题 阻止或促进代际传递 反社会和攻击行为。这些新知识如果进一步发展， 可以为新一代更有效的预防计划做出贡献 减少反社会和暴力行为。
