Few studies have assessed psychopathic traits in community samples of young people. We investigated the predictive utility of callous and unemotional traits in a representative sample of 5,770 young people from Great Britain. Teachers provided information on the presence of callous and unemotional traits and parents completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire to determine the level and impact of psychiatric problems at baseline, 12 and 24 months later. Baseline callous and unemotional trait scores independently predicted the number and intensity of conduct, emotional and hyperactivity symptoms at follow-up. Callous and unemotional traits are longitudinally associated with the level and impact of childhood psychiatric problems.
很少有研究评估过社区中年轻人的精神病态特质。我们在来自英国的5770名年轻人的代表性样本中，调查了冷漠无情特质的预测效用。教师提供了有关冷漠无情特质存在情况的信息，父母则完成了优势与困难问卷，以确定在基线时、12个月后和24个月后的精神问题水平及影响。基线时的冷漠无情特质得分独立预测了随访时品行、情绪和多动症状的数量及严重程度。冷漠无情特质在纵向上与儿童期精神问题的水平及影响相关。
