Abstract

Over the past two decades, research on the role of biological factors in antisocial behaviour has made vast progress. In this article, recent findings from a series of studies performed in the Netherlands on HPA-axis functioning and antisocial behaviour in male adolescents are presented. The three studies discussed here focus on diurnal variation of cortisol, cortisol reactivity to stress, and patterns of interaction between cortisol and testosterone in relation to aggression. The results of these studies are used to discuss possible repercussions on future clinical practice of biological studies on antisocial behaviour. (Netherlands Journal of Psychology, 63, 126-135.)
