Adolescents at risk of developing psychopathy are focused on their own needs and have very little concern for other people's welfare. To date, very little research has focussed on the social cognitive and personality factors that might contribute to the severe conduct problems, atypical affiliation, and impoverished social relationships in these individuals. A number of experimental paradigms can be used to investigate neurocognitive correlates of atypical social relationships in children at risk of developing psychopathy, compared with their typically developing peers, as well as peers with conduct problems but lower levels of callous-unemotional traits (indicating lower risk of developing psychopathy). These include: tasks assessing the extent to which a person uses social information; tasks assessing willingness to make effort for oneself vs others; tasks assessing ability to model others' minds and how this relates to perspective taking; and development and validation of a new personality measure for use with adolescent populations as well as its relationship with conduct problems and callous-unemotional traits in adolescence. Measures of psychiatric symptomatology, substance use and cognitive ability will be included for matching and covariate purposes

有精神病风险的青少年只关注自己的需要，很少关心他人的福利。到目前为止，很少有研究集中于社会认知和人格因素，这些因素可能导致这些人严重的行为问题、非典型的从属关系和贫困的社会关系。一些实验范式可以用来研究非典型社会关系的神经认知相关性，这些儿童有患精神病的风险，与他们通常发育的同龄人以及行为问题但冷酷无情特征水平较低的同龄人相比(表明患精神病的风险较低)。这些任务包括：评估一个人使用社会信息的程度的任务；评估为自己与他人努力的意愿的任务；评估模仿他人思想的能力以及这与采取观点的关系的任务；以及开发和验证一种用于青少年群体的新人格测量及其与青春期行为问题和冷酷无情特征的关系。为了配对和协变量的目的，将包括精神症状学、药物使用和认知能力的测量
