本研究比较了被确定为纵火者（n= 31）和非纵火者（n= 32）的住院儿童在攻击性和精神病理学的几个维度上的差异。该研究允许从行为障碍的诊断中分离出纵火的影响，以促进儿童表现出的症状。在所有的诊断中，纵火犯被发现比非纵火犯有更多的犯罪和反社会行为。纵火狂还表现出社交技能缺陷和广泛的攻击行为，超出了他们的主要症状。即使分析仅限于被诊断为品行障碍的儿童，也能得到这些结果。研究结果详细阐述了纵火儿童的临床表现，并表明纵火可能出现在一系列反社会症状的后期，这些症状包括更极端的公开和隐蔽行为。
The present study compared hospitalized children identified as firesetters (n= 31) or nonfiresetters (n= 32) on several dimensions of aggressiveness and psychopathology. The study permitted separation of the influence of firesetting from a diagnosis of conduct disorder in contributing to the symptoms evinced by the children. Across all diagnoses, firesetters were found to engage in more delinquent and antisocial behaviors than nonfiresetters. Firesetters also evinced social skills deficits and a broad range of aggressive behaviors beyond their primary symptom. These results were obtained even when analyses were restricted to children who were diagnosed as conduct disorder. The findings elaborate on the clinical picture of firesetting children and suggest that firesetting may emerge late in a sequence of antisocial symptoms involving more extreme overt and covert acts.
