儿童行为障碍是一个严重的心理健康问题，使儿童在整个发展过程中面临严重心理健康问题的风险。冷酷无情（CU）特征的升高表明了一个有行为障碍的青年亚群，他们的问题行为有独特的因果过程，相对于其他有这些障碍的人，他们有特别高的严重损害的风险。因此，这些特征最近已被纳入品行障碍的主要诊断分类系统。鉴于CU特质部分由共情缺陷决定，我们回顾了正常发育儿童共情发展的研究，并利用这些研究(a)提出可能与CU特质相关的特定情绪缺陷的理论，(b)解释CU特质升高的儿童所表现出的严重攻击行为模式，(c)提出加强对行为障碍和CU特质升高的儿童的预防和治疗的可能方法。
Childhood conduct disorders, a serious mental health concern, put children at risk for significant mental health problems throughout development. Elevations on callous-unemotional (CU) traits designate a subgroup of youth with conduct disorders who have unique causal processes underlying their problem behavior and are at a particularly high risk for serious impairment relative to others with these disorders. As a result, these traits have recently been integrated into major diagnostic classification systems for conduct disorders. Given that CU traits are partly defined by deficits in empathy, we review research on empathy development in typically developing children and use this research to (a) advance theories on the specific emotional deficits that may be associated with CU traits, (b) explain the severe pattern of aggressive behavior displayed by children with elevated CU traits, and (c) suggest possible ways to enhance prevention and treatment for children with conduct disorders and elevated CU traits.
