Abstract
The study examined the relationship between parental aggression in childhood (T1; ages 7-10) and psychopathic traits during the teen years (T2; ages 12-16), and the moderating role of children's resting respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). Higher T1 parental verbal aggression was associated with T2 impulsivity in those with lower resting RSA.
