| Question | Answer |
| Aim | To see if criminals had a particular gene that could be responsible for their behaviour |
| Procedure | 12 XYY males interviewed by a independent social worker and a personality test was done |
| Results | XYY had slightly lower levels of intelligence and tended to be more aggressive towards other people than normal XY males. But far more similarities between XYY and XXY than differences |
| Conclusion | Provides limited evidence for XYY males being more aggressive |
| Strengths | Independent social worker didn't know the aim so there was no researcher bias Vast range of tests used to measure different aspects of the men's lives. |
| Weaknesses | Only 12 pps It's only a correlational study Not all criminals are XYY |
