  • ... that Leslie Leve found that positive parenting by adoptive parents can reduce children's callous behaviors, which can be inherited from birth parents? Source: "The team found that antisocial behavior in the biological mother predicted CU behaviors in their children who were adopted into homes as infants. This was despite the biological mothers having limited or no contact with the children, indicating that CU behaviors were inherited. However, the team also found that high levels of positive reinforcement by adoptive mothers helped to mitigate CU behaviors in their adopted children." (link)

  • This notion that children can inherit a behavior is not supported by evidence, and in the article is supported only by a press release. Abductive (reasoning) 06:12, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
