Back to table of contents Previous article Next article Clinical & Research NewsFull AccessAntisocial Behavior Contagious For Some Married CouplesJoan Arehart-TreichelJoan Arehart-TreichelPublished Online:7 Feb 2003https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.38.3.0026aAs any crime buff knows, Bonnie and Clyde were infamous American criminals back in the 1930s, operating as a husband-and-wife team, although they were not married.However, there may be some "Bonnie and Clydes" running around today as well. The reason? When one spouse engages in antisocial behavior, the other has a good chance of doing so as well, a new study suggests.A lot of research has been conducted, of course, on the familial transmission of antisocial behavior. Very few studies, however, have looked to see whether antisocial behavior might also be transferred from one spouse to another, or at least be a kind of behavior in which they both engage. So G. Gaulbaud du Fort, M.D., Ph.D., a psychiatric epidemiologist at the Sir Mortimer B. Davis-Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada, and his colleagues decided to try to answer the question.Their study included 519 pairs of spouses—that is, 1,038 subjects—randomly selected from a large, previously conducted general population survey. They used the Diagnostic Interview Schedule to determine how many of these 1,038 subjects engaged in antisocial behavior. Finally they used these findings to see whether those persons who engaged in antisocial behavior also had spouses who did so.The answer was yes in some 20 percent of the cases, they reported in the November Psychological Medicine. "Our finding of a strong similarity between spouses for adult antisocial behavior has significant implications for both clinicians and researchers," they wrote.However, when they looked to see whether those subjects who had engaged in conduct disorder as children also had spouses who had done so, they found only a modest association—about 4 percent. What's more, the spousal similarity for adult antisocial behavior was independent of the spousal similarity for conduct disorder, they discovered.These findings, they believe, suggest that adult antisocial behavior should be considered a distinct diagnostic entity from child conduct disorder.An abstract of the study, "Spouse Similarity for Antisocial Behavior in the General Population," can be accessed on the Web at www.journals.cambridge.org by clicking on "Take the tour, " then "Journal list," then "Psychological Medicine." ▪ ISSUES NewArchived

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
