I do lifespan longitudinal research with large samples in field settings. My research topics include: (1) natural history of antisocial behavior, depression, and schizophrenia from childhood to adulthood, (2) etiology of conduct disorder, juvenile delinquency, and antisocial personality disorder, (3) studies of nature-nurture interplay using behavioural genetic methods, (4) longitudinal research methodology, and (5) intelligence and neuropsychological assessment.
