In this cross-sectional study, we investigated whether the combination of the presence of callous-unemotional (CU) traits and emotional deficits to distressing stimuli, assessed by a computerized dot-probe task, enhanced the statistical prediction of aggression and delinquency in a sample of 88 detained and predominantly African-American (68%) adolescents (M age = 15.57; SD = 1.28). Overall, self-reported CU traits were associated with self-report measures of aggression and delinquency, but not with official records of arrests. However, there was an interaction between CU traits and emotional deficits for predicting self-reported aggression, self-reported violent delinquency, and a record of violent arrests. Youth high on CU traits and who showed a deficit in their responses to visual depictions of distress showed the highest levels of aggression and violent delinquency.
在这项横断面研究中，我们调查了冷酷无情（CU）特质的存在与对痛苦刺激的情绪缺陷（通过计算机化点探测任务评估）相结合，是否能增强对88名被拘留的青少年（主要是非洲裔美国人，占68%）样本中攻击行为和犯罪行为的统计预测能力（平均年龄M = 15.57；标准差SD = 1.28）。总体而言，自我报告的CU特质与攻击行为和犯罪行为的自我报告测量相关，但与逮捕的官方记录无关。然而，在预测自我报告的攻击行为、自我报告的暴力犯罪行为以及暴力逮捕记录方面，CU特质和情绪缺陷之间存在交互作用。具有高CU特质且对痛苦视觉描绘反应存在缺陷的青少年表现出最高水平的攻击行为和暴力犯罪行为。
