Is there a link between Antisocial Personality Disorder and Western emphasis on extroverted personalities?

I'm just theorizing here but I'm wondering if any psyche scholars out there can point me to any studies or literature that links an increase in Antisocial Personality Disorder to the emphasis Western society puts on extroverts. My theory being that, in North America, the natural introvert is so bombarded with elements more conducive to the extrovert, that they are forced to adapt an unnatural persona that leads to the creation of a false self, and hence a propensity to APD. Any leads for me?
