这项研究试图复制我们早期研究的结果，该研究发表在本刊上，该研究使用Achenbach经验评估系统中的母亲报告项目来开发用于学龄前儿童的冷酷无情（CU）行为的筛查措施。我们进一步寻求扩展这些结果，探索CU措施的预测有效性与攻击轨迹在早期/中期的童年。目前的研究涉及NICHD儿童早期和青年发展研究（NICHD-SECCYD）数据集的二级数据分析。因素分析包括N = 1176名儿童谁参加了3岁的NICHD-SECCYD评估。预测模型包括N = 1081名儿童，他们的攻击性行为的六个可能的教师评级中有四个可从1 - 6年级的年度评估中获得。与以前的工作一致，一个三因素的验证性因素模型，区分CU对立违抗（ODD）和注意力缺陷/多动-冲动（ADHD）的行为，提供了最佳的拟合数据。在混乱型依恋状态的儿童中，高水平的母亲评定的ODD行为和CU行为的组合，可预测1 - 6年级教师评定的攻击性水平稳定升高（预测概率= 0.38，而基础概率为0.07）。这些结果表明，CU行为可以可靠地测量幼儿的父母报告，并从更常见的破坏性行为的评估维度分离。表现出ODD和CU行为水平升高的三岁儿童，以及具有混乱依恋的儿童，在童年中期表现出攻击水平升高的风险增加。从早期评估和干预的角度讨论了结果。
This study sought to replicate the results of our earlier study, which were published in this Journal, that used mother-reported items from the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment to develop a screening measure of callous unemotional (CU) behaviors for use with preschool-aged children. We further sought to extend those results by exploring the predictive validity of the CU measure with aggression trajectories in early-/mid-childhood. The current study involved secondary data analysis of the NICHD Study of Early Childhood and Youth Development (NICHD-SECCYD) dataset. Factor analyses included N = 1176 children who participated in the age 3 year assessment of the NICHD-SECCYD. Predictive models included N = 1081 children for whom four of the six possible teacher ratings of aggressive behavior were available from annual assessments spanning 1st-6th grades. Consistent with prior work, a three-factor confirmatory factor model, which differentiated CU from oppositional defiant (ODD) and attention deficit/hyperactive-impulsive (ADHD) behaviors, provided the best fit to the data. Among children with disorganized attachment status, the combination of high levels of mother-rated ODD behaviors and CU behaviors, was predictive of stable elevated levels of teacher-rated aggression from 1st-6th grade (predicted probability = .38, compared with a base rate of .07). These results demonstrate that CU behaviors can be reliably measured by parent report in young children and are dissociable from more commonly assessed dimensions of disruptive behavior. Three-year-old children who exhibit elevated levels of ODD and CU behaviors, and who have disorganized attachments, are at increased risk for exhibiting elevated levels of aggression across middle childhood. Results are discussed from the perspective of early assessment and intervention.
