There is a literature suggesting that there may be etiologically different subtypes of CD symptomatology, with distinctions between aggressive and rule-breaking forms of antisocial behavior.46 We do not find evidence for two different factors in this sample; rather, all symptoms load onto a single factor (data not shown). Nonetheless, we did create sum symptom scores for the symptoms that loaded onto the aggressive and rule-breaking factors as reported in previous studies.47 We reran the top hits reported in Table 2 for the aggressive and rule-breaking symptom counts, respectively. There was association across both symptom dimensions. This is perhaps not surprising as the symptoms all loaded onto a single factor in this sample. Thus, we find no evidence that the findings reported in this study are differentially associated with aggressive and rule-breaking dimensions of CD.
