对青少年精神病特征的研究尚处于起步阶段,对这些特征的性质和结构仍然知之甚少。在迄今为止对广泛使用的反社会加工筛选装置(APSD)的结构效度进行的最全面的分析中,我们使用了两个独立的青年样本,一个社区,(N = 2203)和1例诊所转诊(N = 534),年龄4至19岁(51%女性),调查青少年精神病的无情,unemotionality(CU),自恋,冲动维度的外部相关性。我们使用父母报告的外化和内化的精神病理学,人格和攻击行为,以检查精神病特质维度和相关的外部相关因素之间的关联模式。在这两个样本中,CU与所有形式的外化精神病理学和侵略性呈正相关,大多与内化精神病理学无关,与宜人性和友好性呈负相关。自恋和冲动与外化精神病理学、攻击性呈正相关,与宜人性和贪婪性呈负相关,与内化精神病理学呈弱正相关。在大多数情况下,APSD的每个维度与这些外部相关因素的关系在统计学上都有显著差异。我们的许多研究结果复制和扩展了与青年和成年人进行的工作,虽然其他人认为,这些方面不区分精神病理学领域的概念预期的方式。从广义上讲,这些研究结果提供的证据表明,青年的精神病特征最好的特点是一个多维的模型和承担模型整合规范与病理人格的影响。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2020阿帕,保留所有权利)。
The study of psychopathic traits in youth is in its nascent stages and the nature and the structure of these traits is still poorly understood. In one of the most comprehensive analyses to date of the construct validity of the widely used Antisocial Processing Screening Device (APSD), we used two independent samples of youth, one community (N = 2203) and one clinic-referred (N = 534), ages 4 to 19 (51% female), to investigate the external correlates of the Callous-unemotionality (CU), Narcissism, and Impulsivity dimensions of youth psychopathy. We used parent reports of externalizing and internalizing psychopathology, personality, and aggressive behavior to examine the pattern of associations between psychopathic trait dimensions and relevant external correlates. Across both samples, CU was positively related to all forms of externalizing psychopathology and aggression, mostly unrelated to internalizing psychopathology, and negatively related to agreeableness and conscientiousness. Narcissism and Impulsivity were positively related to externalizing psychopathology, and aggression, negatively related to agreeableness and conscientiousness, and weakly positively related to internalizing psychopathology. In most cases, each dimension of the APSD manifested statistically significantly different relations with these external correlates. Many of our findings replicate and extend work conducted with both youth and adults, although others suggest that these dimensions do not distinguish among psychopathological domains in conceptually expected ways. Broadly speaking, these findings provide evidence that psychopathic traits in youth are best characterized by a multidimensional model and bear implications for models integrating normative with pathological personality.
