This study aims to establish a cut score for the Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits, a well-validated measure of callous-unemotional (CU) traits in youth for which there is currently no cutoff score.
We analyzed data on 634 adolescents from high schools (n = 343) and juvenile detention centers (n = 291). Participants, their parents and guardians, and their teachers and staff members reported on participants' CU traits and aggressive/violent behavior.
All three reports of CU traits as well as intersource composites were associated with aggression, violence, and detained status. Parent report was a better indicator compared to self-reports and teacher reports. Appropriate cut scores based on each report and composite were determined.
We recommend that information from all available informants should be used whenever possible, but when only one informant report is feasible, parent reports are preferable.
本研究旨在为无情无感特质量表确定一个划分分数，该量表是一种经过充分验证的用于测量青少年无情无感（CU）特质的工具，目前尚无划分分数。
我们分析了来自高中（n = 343）和少年拘留中心（n = 291）的634名青少年的数据。参与者、他们的父母和监护人以及他们的教师和工作人员报告了参与者的CU特质以及攻击/暴力行为。
关于CU特质的所有三份报告以及不同来源的综合报告均与攻击、暴力和被拘留状态相关。与自我报告和教师报告相比，父母报告是更好的指标。根据每份报告和综合报告确定了合适的划分分数。
我们建议，只要有可能，应使用所有可用信息提供者提供的信息，但当只有一份信息提供者报告可行时，父母报告更可取。
