All of the following statements about disruptive behavior disorders are true except:

a. All disruptive behaviors develop in a complex interplay between the person and the
environment.
b. Children born today with exactly the same genetic characteristics as children born 30
years ago would probably develop quite differently if they were to become disruptive.
c. The majority of children and adolescents who are victims of poverty, discrimination,
racism, and other injustices develop either oppositional defiant disorder or conduct
disorder.
d. Detailed descriptions of the biological processes that underlie disruptive behaviors will
not automatically contribute to an understanding of their etiology because biological
factors always take place in a context that cannot be ignored.
e. There is more evidence for the empirical validity of conduct disorder than oppositional
defiant disorder.
