This study examined dimensions of callous behaviors in early childhood and the role of these behaviors in the development of conduct problems, as well as responsiveness to a family-centered preventative intervention. Caregiver reports of callous behaviors were examined using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Problem behavior was examined using within- and cross-informant reports of these behaviors. Parenting was measured using observational methods within the context of a randomized control trial of the Family Check-Up with a sample of 731 ethnically diverse boys and girls (followed from age 2 to 4) at high risk for later conduct problems. Results demonstrated that a measure of deceitful-callous (D-C) behaviors had acceptable factor loadings and internal consistency at ages 3 and 4. D-C behaviors at age 3 predicted problem behavior concurrently and longitudinally within and across informant. However, D-C behaviors did not reduce the effectiveness of the family preventative intervention. These findings have implications for our understanding of behaviors that may precede later callous-unemotional traits and for our understanding of the development and prevention of early starting conduct problems.
