Causes or Results of Psychopathologic Conduct?

Models for benchmark psychopathologic conduct as a reason for tormenting and gauge harassing as a reason for later psychopathologic conduct. A, Causal model demonstrating that gauge psychopathologic conduct is a reason for follow-up harassing. Four conceivable ways are delineated: psychopathologic conduct at benchmark specifically causes tormenting at development (way 1), psychopathologic conduct at gauge makes psychopathologic conduct at follow-up that leads harassing at development (way 2), psychopathologic conduct at standard causes tormenting at follow-up by bringing about tormenting at pattern and ensuing psychopathologic conduct at development (way 3), and psychopathologic conduct at gauge causes harassing at benchmark that prompts harassing at development (way 4). The aggregate impact of pattern psychopathologic conduct on tormenting at follow-up is the net impact from these 4 ways. Sex, age, family structure, parental instructive level, financial status, and living arrangement could possibly bewilder this causal connection between psychopathologic conduct and harassing. B, Causal model indicating harassing at benchmark as a reason for psychopathologic conduct at development. A similar approach, exchanging the separate parts of harassing and psychopathologic conduct, was connected for this causal model.
