对95名年龄在6至13岁之间的临床转诊儿童进行了精神病测量的因素分析。这些分析揭示了行为的两个维度，一个与冲动和行为问题有关（I/CP），另一个与精神病的人际和动机方面有关（冷酷无情：CU）。在该样本的一个子集（n = 64）中，分析表明I/CP因子的得分与传统的行为问题测量高度相关。相比之下，CU因素得出的分数与行为问题的测量只有适度的关联，并且在与精神病（例如，寻求感觉）或儿童反社会行为（例如，低智力，学习成绩差和焦虑）相关的几个标准上表现出不同的关联模式。这些分析表明，儿童的精神病人格特征和行为问题是独立的，但相互作用的，类似于成人文献中的发现。
Factor analysis of a measure of psychopathy was conducted in a sample of 95 clinic-referred children between the ages of 6 and 13 years. These analyses revealed 2 dimensions of behavior, one associated with impulsivity and conduct problems (I/CP) and one associated with the interpersonal and motivational aspects of psychopathy (callous/unemotional: CU). In a subset of this sample (n = 64), analyses indicated that scores on the I/CP factor were highly associated with traditional measures of conduct problems. In contrast, scores derived from the CU factor were only moderately associated with measures of conduct problems and exhibited a different pattern of associations on several criteria that have been associated with psychopathy (e.g., sensation seeking) or childhood antisocial behavior (e.g., low intelligence, poor school achievement, and anxiety). These analyses suggest that psychopathic personality features and conduct problems are independent, yet interacting, constructs in children, analogous to findings in the adult literature.
