已经结婚的男性较少反社会。但婚姻和反社会之间有因果联系吗？反社会的男性不太可能结婚，或是结婚会减少反社会倾向？《心理学档案期刊》上的一项研究认为是兼而有之。 反社会的人不太可能结婚，但如果他们能与人结成一对，伴侣会帮助处理与他人之间的不适。研究人员采用与众不同的方法研究反社会和婚姻关系，他们的研究对象是已婚和未婚的男同卵双胞胎，同卵双胞胎之间通常有很多共同特性。
不过我想，像下面这对很可能不会这样。
Does Marriage Inhibit Antisocial Behavior?
An Examination of Selection vs Causation via a Longitudinal Twin Design
Arch Gen Psychiatry. 2010;67(12):1309-1315. doi:10.1001/archgenpsychiatry.2010.159
Context Previous studies have indicated that marriage is negatively associated with male antisocial behavior. Although often interpreted as a causal association, marriage is not a random event. As such, the association may stem from selectionprocesses, whereby men less inclined toward antisocial behavior are more likely to marry.
Objective To evaluate selection vs causation explanations of the association between marriage and desistence from antisocial behavior.
Design Co-twin control analyses in a prospective twin study provided an analogue of the idealized counterfactual model of causation. The co-twin control design uses the unmarried co-twin of a married twin to estimate what the married twin would have looked like had he remained unmarried. Discordant monozygotic (MZ) twins are particularly informative because they share a common genotype and rearing environment.
Setting General community study.
Participants Two hundred eighty-nine male-male twin pairs (65.1% MZ) from the Minnesota Twin Family Study underwent assessment at 17, 20, 24, and 29 years of age. None of the participants were married at 17 years of age, and 2.6% were married at 20 years of age. By 29 years of age, 58.8% of the participants were or had been married.
Main Outcome Measure A tally of criterion C symptoms of DSM-III-R antisocial personality disorder, as assessed via structured clinical interview.
Results Mean differences in antisocial behavior across marital status at age 29 years were present even at 17 and 20 years of age, suggesting a selection process. However, the within-pair effect of marriage was significant for MZ twins, such that the married twin engaged in less antisocial behavior following marriage than his unmarried co-twin. Results were equivalent to those in dizygotic twins and persisted when controlling for prior antisocial behavior.
Conclusions Results indicate an initial selection effect, whereby men with lower levels of antisocial behavior are more likely to marry. However, this tendency to refrain from antisocial behavior appears to be accentuated by the state of marriage.
