The present study examined the concurrent relationship between psychopathy characteristics as measured by the PCL:YV and aggressive and antisocial behavior in a sample of 142 high-risk adolescent girls and boys. The unique relationship between each of three PCL:YV factors (Arrogant and Deceitful Interpersonal Style, Deficient Affective Experience, and Impulsive and Irresponsible Behavioral Style) and outcomes was evaluated to determine which aspects of psychopathy are most crucially linked to aggressive and antisocial behavior in adolescents. Dependent measures were expanded to include both relational and physical forms of aggression to better capture meaningful outcomes for girls and boys. Regression analyses showed that the relationships between psychopathic features and outcomes were equivalent for boys and girls, and that deficits in affect were most consistently associated with aggression. These findings are concordant with the well established finding in developmental research showing that deficits in empathy and affect regulation are associated with aggression.
本研究调查了在142名高危青少年女孩和男孩样本中，通过PCL:YV量表测量的精神病态特征与攻击性行为和反社会行为之间的并发关系。评估了PCL:YV三个因素（傲慢与欺骗性人际风格、情感体验缺陷、冲动与不负责任行为风格）各自与结果之间的独特关系，以确定精神病态的哪些方面与青少年的攻击性行为和反社会行为最为关键相关。相关测量指标有所扩展，纳入了关系型攻击和身体攻击两种形式，以便更好地获取对男孩和女孩都有意义的结果。回归分析表明，精神病态特征与结果之间的关系在男孩和女孩中是相同的，并且情感缺陷与攻击行为的关联最为一致。这些发现与发展研究中已确立的结果一致，即共情和情感调节缺陷与攻击行为相关。
