目的：本研究有三个目的：（1）评估一系列神经心理学测试的潜在因素结构，这些测试假定测量药物滥用/依赖高风险和低风险男孩样本中的执行认知功能（ECF）； (2)评估ECF与攻击行为之间的关系； (3) 确定 ECF 和物质依赖家族史 (FH) 对攻击行为的交互作用。方法：使用 ECF 和攻击行为的多种测量方法，在 291 名患有或不患有物质依赖 FH 的 10-12 岁男孩样本中测试这些关系。结果：分析表明，ECF 的衡量标准依赖于一个因素。即使考虑到智商和社会经济地位，ECF 也与攻击性行为相关。 ECF 和物质依赖 FH 之间的相互作用也与攻击行为有关。结论：本次调查的主要发现表明，ECF 及其与物质依赖 FH 的相互作用与攻击行为相关。这些结果表明，高风险群体的暴力预防和治疗工作应纳入以 ECF 培训为重点的认知适应训练。
Objective: This study had three purposes: (1) to assess the underlying factor structure of a battery of neuropsychological tests putatively measuring executive cognitive functioning (ECF) in a sample of boys at high and low risk for substance abuse/dependence; (2) to assess the relationship between ECF and aggressive behavior; and (3) to determine the interactive effects of ECF and a family history (FH) of substances dependence on aggressive behavior. Method: Multiple measures of ECF and aggressive behavior were used to test these relationships in a sample of 291 10-12 year old boys with and without a FH of substance dependence. Results: Analyses indicated that the measures of ECF loaded on one factor. ECF was related to aggressive behavior even when accounting for IQ and SES. The interaction between ECF and a FH of substance dependence was also associated with aggressive behavior. Conclusions: The central finding of this investigation indicates that ECF and its interaction with a FH of substance dependence are associated with aggressive behavior. These results suggest that violence prevention and treatment efforts in high risk groups should incorporate cognitive habilitation focusing on training in ECFs.
