The genetic risk factor identified does not appear to influence behavior directly unless it is paired with environmental factors such as exposure to abuse or other regular and/or extreme violence, and then it leads to the development of aggressive and other challenging behaviors (Kaiser & Rasminsky, 2002). The environmental risk factors identified -- i.e., the abuse/exposure to violence -- has been demonstrated to have an effect without the presence of the genetic factor, however the increased probability of aggressive behavior development in such children is only slightly higher than in children that do not have the same environmental risk factor, meaning the genetic factor is of great impact (Kaiser & Rasminsky, 2002).

This was also the aim of the study conducted by Smagner and Sullivan (2005, p. 432). The authors found that behavioral parent training is significantly effective, even when applied to involuntary participants. The study showed the enduring success of the program by observing the participants for six months after the
Interviews with his parents reveal a disturbing trend. His parents do not seem to want to challenge Christopher in any meaningful way and instead enable his lack of progress. Perhaps out of fear for his tantrums, Christopher's mother makes excuses for her son's behavior.
