Suppose a young child is adopted into a caring, mentally healthy family, yet still develops antisocial personality disorder. Based on your understanding of the risk factors for ASPD, which of the following most likely explains this outcome?
A. The child may have received too privileged an upbringing, leading to lessened empathy for those less fortunate than him, which increased the risk of developing ASPD. B. The parents may have acted heroically in a dangerous situation; the child, misunderstanding their motives, interpreted this to mean that any risk-taking behavior tends to be rewarded, leading him to do so with increasing frequency. C. The parents may have been seen as too caring during the child's adolescent years, causing him to rebel by acting in what he saw as an opposite fashion. D. The child's biological parents may have had ASPD, and thus he had a genetic disposition towards developing the disorder, which outweighed the pleasant upbringing he experienced.
