Children with conduct disorder are:

A) more likely to be the only child.
B) more likely to have fathers with a history of depression.
C) more likely to have parents with antisocial behaviors.
D) no more likely than other children to come from broken families.

Research has consistently shown that conduct disorder is strongly linked with parents who exhibit antisocial or criminal behavior, suggesting a genetic link and/or exposure to a deviant lifestyle. Children with conduct disorder are more likely to come from families with a history of criminality, substance abuse, or other dysfunctions such as child abuse, neglect, or divorce. However, they are not more likely to be the only child, nor are fathers with a history of depression specifically associated with conduct disorder.
