| Popis: | Purpose The current study tested the association between officially recorded criminal behavior and the interaction of heart rate with serotonin transporter genotype. Methods Data were gathered from an incarcerated sample of males in a large city jail in the southern United States (n = 90). Arrest rates for violence and property crime were considered separately. Results The interaction between low heart rate and 5-HTTLPR L/L genotype was associated with arrest rates for violence, but not property offenses. Higher arrest rates for violence occurred among individuals with both low resting heart rate and the 5-HTTLPR L/L genotype. Conclusion Individual differences in risk for violent behavior may be influenced by the interaction of multiple biological substrates. |
