Research has linked many risk factors in childhood and early adolescence to antisocial behaviors in later adolescence and early adulthood; however, less attention has focused on the interaction among factors in the prediction of distinct forms of antisocial behaviors. This study investigated the additive and synergistic association of inattention-impulsivity and verbal ability with overt and covert antisocial behaviors using a high risk community sample of 270 (49.8% female) children. Multiple regression analyses indicated kindergarten inattention-impulsivity was significantly related to overt and covert antisocial behaviors and the interaction of inattention-impulsivity and verbal ability significantly predicted covert but not overt antisocial behaviors during kindergarten and first grade. Kindergarten verbal ability did not buffer the association of impulsivity-inattention with covert antisocial behavior; rather higher verbal ability was associated with increased risk for covert antisocial behavior in the presence of high levels of impulsivity-inattention. The association of inattention-impulsivity with higher levels of overt and covert antisocial behavior begins during childhood, and may set off developmental trajectories associated with the acceleration of antisocial behavior in adolescence.
研究已经将许多儿童期和青春期早期的风险因素与青春期后期和成年早期的反社会行为联系起来；然而，人们对这些因素在预测不同形式的反社会行为中的相互作用关注较少。本研究使用高危社区样本 270 名（49.8%为女性）儿童，调查了注意力不集中-冲动性和言语能力与外显和内隐反社会行为的相加和协同关联。多元回归分析表明，幼儿园注意力不集中-冲动与外显和内隐反社会行为显著相关，注意力不集中-冲动与言语能力的相互作用显著预测了幼儿园和一年级的内隐反社会行为，但不预测外显反社会行为。幼儿园言语能力并不能缓冲冲动-注意力不集中与内隐反社会行为的关联；相反，在高冲动-注意力不集中水平存在的情况下，较高的言语能力与内隐反社会行为的风险增加有关。注意力不集中-冲动与较高水平的外显和内隐反社会行为的关联始于儿童期，并可能引发与青春期反社会行为加速相关的发展轨迹。
