研究发现，有行为问题（CP）和高度冷酷无情特征（CP/HCU）的儿童具有完整的代表他人思想的能力，然而，他们的行为方式表明考虑他人思想和情感的倾向降低。感受。在这里，我们报告的结果，从三个任务评估不同方面的心智化在81个11-16岁的男孩[典型发展（TD）n= 27; CP/HCUn= 28; CP和低水平的冷酷无情的特质（CP/LCU）n= 26]。参与者完成了社会认知的电影评估（MASC），这是一项评估能力/倾向的任务，将对个人心灵的判断纳入精神状态推断;提供了一个好朋友的书面描述，以评估心智;并完成了社会判断任务（SJT），这是一项评估反社会行为心理化的新措施。CP/HCU男生在MASC中准确推断他人心理状态的难度高于TD和CP/LCU男生。有没有组间差异的数量的心理相关的意见，评估的头脑，头脑的协议或在响应的SJT任务。这些研究结果表明，虽然代表精神状态的能力是完整的，CP/HCU男孩不太可能更新精神状态推断不同的头脑的功能。
Children with conduct problems (CP) and high levels of callous-unemotional traits (CP/HCU) have been found to have an intact ability to represent other minds, however, they behave in ways that indicate a reduced propensity to consider other people’s thoughts and feelings. Here we report findings from three tasks assessing different aspects of mentalising in 81 boys aged 11–16 [Typically developing (TD)n= 27; CP/HCUn= 28; CP and low levels of callous-unemotional traits (CP/LCU)n= 26]. Participants completed the Movie Assessment of Social Cognition (MASC), a task assessing ability/propensity to incorporate judgements concerning an individual’s mind into mental state inference; provided a written description of a good friend to assess mind-mindedness; and completed the Social Judgement Task (SJT), a new measure assessing mentalising about antisocial actions. Boys with CP/HCU had more difficulty in accurately inferring others’ mental states in the MASC than TD and CP/LCU boys. There were no group differences in the number of mind-related comments as assessed by the mind-mindedness protocol or in responses to the SJT task. These findings suggest that although the ability to represent mental states is intact, CP/HCU boys are less likely to update mental state inferences as a function of different minds.
