Abstract
PurposeThe current study examines the association between infant neuropsychological risk and childhood antisocial behavior, and whether neonatal health risk moderates this association. MethodsLongitudinal data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study: Birth Cohort (ECLS-B) were analyzed using hierarchical regression. ResultsThe findings suggest that the association between infant neuropsychological risk and childhood antisocial behavior is contingent on both biological sex and neonatal health risk. Males who experienced neonatal health risks exhibited significantly higher levels of childhood antisocial behavior as neuropsychological risk during infancy increased. ConclusionsThe relationship between neuropsychological risks and childhood antisocial behavior may be exacerbated by neonatal health risks among males. Implications for theory, prevention, and intervention are considered.
