Abstract
This abstract synthesizes research on psychopathy and antisocial behavior, highlighting biological, physiological and developmental correlates. It examines the interaction between physiological responses and brain factors influencing antisocial behavior, suggesting complex underlying mechanisms. The heritability of antisocial behavior is explored, revealing significant genetic influences that vary across individuals. Additionally, advancements in maturity of judgment are discussed, illustrating how cognitive development contributes to a decline in psychopathic traits among justice-involved youth transitioning from adolescence to adulthood. Together, these studies underscore the interplay of biological, physiological, and developmental factors in understanding psychopathy and antisocial behavior.
