Although much theorized about, the findings of person x gene x environment interactions are rare. This study evaluated the person x environment, gene x environment, and person x gene aspects of this interaction in relation to adolescent antisocial behavior. Major theories of adolescent delinquency emphasize the role of low self-control (e.g., impulsivity and emotional lability) in antisocial behavior. These and related personality traits are presumed to interact (in a synergistic manner) with social context. This study proposed and tested a hypothesis that the nature of the interaction between low self-control and social context is such that low self-control is not related to antisocial behavior in low risk contexts. The study sample consisted of 324 14-17 year-old participants from Russia. In order to increase the power for finding interaction effects, recruitment focused on inclusion of youths with a wide range of exposure to contextual risk factors. Results supported the first hypothesis (i.e., the person x environment hypothesis) for impulsivity and, in part, for active coping, disengagement coping, anger, behavioral activation, and behavioral inhibition. The second hypothesis tested the role of dopamine receptor 4 gene (DRD4) in explaining low self-control and delinquent behavior. Results showed that individuals with the 7-repeat allele were more likely than those with 4-repeat alleles to have high trait anger when living in a context of high peer delinquency or exposure to violence. Furthermore, higher anger was more strongly linked to antisocial behavior for these individuals. Results for the 2- and 3-repeat alleles indicated that they had a protective function. The 2-repeat allele protected youths from the effects of various adverse social contexts on antisocial behavior. The 3-repeat was also protective in the context of negative life events but not for other contexts. Implications for future studies are discussed.
