The Val158Met Polymorphism in 8-Year-Old Boys and Girls Moderates the Influence of Parenting Styles on Proactive Aggression: Testing the Sensitivity to the Environment

The aim of the study was to explore the possible vulnerability (diathesis-stress), susceptibility (differential susceptibility), or vantage (vantage sensitivity) properties of COMT gen Val158Met polymorphism to adverse and favorable parenting styles from both parents in relation to children&rsqu...

Within 279 eight-year-old children (125 girls and 154 boys) from Spain, reactive and proactive aggressive behavior was measured through the “Reactive and Proactive Questionnaire” (RPQ). Saliva samples were collected to genotype for the COMT Val158Met polymorphism via real-time PCR. Finally, parenting styles were assessed using the “Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire” (PSDQ). The results revealed that for boys, the Met allele was a vulnerability factor for proactive aggression in response to low-authoritative parenting from the father. For girls, it was the Val allele, the vulnerability variable to the high authoritarian style of the father, and the susceptibility factor to the authoritative style of the mother over proactive aggression. The results are discussed, considering possible sex differences. Our results indicate that the COMT Val158Met polymorphism is a biological variable that confers greater sensitivity to the environment.This research was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (PSI2016-75462-P), the UPV/EHU GIU18/103 Project Grants, and the Basque Country Government (grant number: PRE_2018_1_0111).MDPÎ2023202320232023info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10810/63182reponame:Addi.
