The role of callous-unemotional (CU) traits and conduct problems in predicting conduct problem severity, severity and type of aggression, and self-reported delinquency at a 1-year follow-up was investigated in a sample of 98 children (mean age 12.43; SD = 1.72) recruited from a community-wide screening. Children with both CU traits and conduct problems had a greater number and variety of conduct problems at follow-up than children who at the screening had high levels of conduct problems alone. However, this poorer outcome for children with CU traits could largely be accounted for by differences in initial level of conduct problem severity. Children with CU traits and conduct problems were also at risk for showing higher levels of aggression, especially proactive aggression, and self-reported delinquency. Importantly, these outcomes could not be solely explained by initial level of conduct problem severity. Finally, CU traits predicted self-reported delinquency in some children who did not initially show high levels of conduct problems and this predictive relationship seemed to be strongest for girls in the sample who were high on CU traits but who did not show significant conduct problems.
在一项从社区范围内的筛查中招募的98名儿童（平均年龄12.43岁；标准差=1.72）样本中，研究了冷酷无情（CU）特质和行为问题在预测1年随访时行为问题严重程度、攻击行为的严重程度和类型以及自我报告的犯罪行为方面的作用。与在筛查时仅存在高水平行为问题的儿童相比，同时具有CU特质和行为问题的儿童在随访时出现的行为问题数量更多、种类更丰富。然而，具有CU特质的儿童这种较差的结果在很大程度上可归因于行为问题严重程度初始水平的差异。具有CU特质和行为问题的儿童也有表现出更高水平攻击行为的风险，尤其是主动性攻击行为，以及自我报告的犯罪行为。重要的是，这些结果不能仅由行为问题严重程度的初始水平来解释。最后，CU特质在一些最初未表现出高水平行为问题的儿童中预测了自我报告的犯罪行为，并且这种预测关系在样本中CU特质得分高但未表现出明显行为问题的女孩中似乎最为强烈。
