这项研究检查了 2 个儿童样本的精神病特征的结构。非参考社区样本包括从美国东南部 2 个学区的小学招募的 1,136 名儿童。诊所样本包括 160 名转诊至同一地理区域的心理健康门诊的儿童。在这两个样本中，家长和老师对精神病态特征的评分都进行了主轴因子分析，并使用验证性因子分析检查了样本间因子结构的一致性。在这两个样本中，由冷酷无情的特征组成的第一个维度被分离出来，这些特征是大多数精神病临床描述的标志。社区样本中还出现了另外两个维度，即自恋特征和冲动。自恋和冲动维度都与对立违抗性障碍、品行障碍和注意力缺陷多动障碍的症状高度相关。然而，在控制了精神病的其他方面后，冷酷无情的特征与这些症状的相关性微弱。
This study examined the structure of psychopathic traits in 2 samples of children. The nonreferred community sample included 1,136 children recruited from elementary schools in 2 school districts in the southeastern United States. The clinic sample included 160 children referred to an outpatient mental health clinic serving the same geographic region. In both samples, parent and teacher ratings of psychopathic traits were subjected to a principal-axis factor analysis, and the congruence of the factor structure across samples was examined using confirmatory factor analysis. In both samples, 1 dimension that consisted of the callous and unemotional traits that have been hallmarks of most clinical descriptions of psychopathy was isolated. Two other dimensions consisting of narcissistic traits and impulsivity emerged in the community sample. Both the narcissism and impulsivity dimensions were highly related to symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. However, the callous and unemotional traits were only weakly associated with these symptoms after controlling for the other dimensions of psychopathy.
