The aim of the present study was to analyze the relevance of the DSM-5's Conduct Disorder new Limited Prosocial Emotions (CD LPE) specifier in incarcerated juvenile delinquents. A sample of 201 males and 98 females from the Juvenile Detention Centers managed by the Portuguese Ministry of Justice diagnosed with Conduct Disorder (CD) was used. Results showed that male juvenile delinquents with the CD LPE specifier scored higher on callous-unemotional traits (CU), general psychopathic traits, psychopathy taxon membership, self-reported delinquency, and crime seriousness, and lower on prosocial behavior and social desirability, while female juvenile delinquents with the CD LPE specifier scored higher on callous-unemotional traits (CU) and general psychopathic traits, and lower on prosocial behavior. Significant associations for both genders were found between the CD LPE specifier and age of crime onset and first problems with the law.
本研究的目的是分析《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第五版（DSM-5）中品行障碍新的有限亲社会情感（CD LPE）说明符在被监禁青少年罪犯中的相关性。使用了来自葡萄牙司法部管理的少年拘留中心的201名男性和98名女性样本，这些人被诊断患有品行障碍（CD）。结果显示，具有CD LPE说明符的男性青少年罪犯在冷酷无情特质（CU）、一般精神病态特质、精神病态分类归属、自我报告的犯罪行为和犯罪严重性方面得分较高，而在亲社会行为和社会期望方面得分较低；具有CD LPE说明符的女性青少年罪犯在冷酷无情特质（CU）和一般精神病态特质方面得分较高，而在亲社会行为方面得分较低。在CD LPE说明符与犯罪起始年龄和首次触犯法律问题之间，发现了两性的显著关联。
