Most studies on conduct disorder (CD) have focused on male adolescents, disregarding analysis of this psychopathology in women. The purpose of this study was to identify differences in empathy and theory of mind (ToM) in a group of adolescent women with CD and a control group.
Thirty-six adolescent women were selected from an initial sample of 239 adolescents (CD group = 18, control group = 18). Empathy and ToM were evaluated through objective instruments. Mean comparisons and multivariate analysis were performed to ascertain differences between cases and controls and to propose a prediction model based on clinical status.
Significant differences in empathic abilities and ToM were found between the groups. The model that differentiated both groups was composed of eye-reading ability, perspective taking, and personal distress.
These findings are consistent with previous studies. Capacity to take the other's perspective and the recognition of emotions in the face are protective factors against CD in women.
大多数关于品行障碍（CD）的研究都集中在男性青少年身上，而忽视了对女性这种精神病理学的分析。本研究的目的是确定一组患有CD的青春期女性与对照组在共情和心理理论（ToM）方面的差异。
从239名青少年的初始样本中选取36名青春期女性（CD组 = 18名，对照组 = 18名）。通过客观工具评估共情和心理理论。进行均值比较和多变量分析，以确定病例组和对照组之间的差异，并基于临床状态提出预测模型。
两组在共情能力和心理理论方面存在显著差异。区分两组的模型由眼神阅读能力、观点采择和个人痛苦组成。
这些发现与先前的研究一致。换位思考的能力以及对他人面部情绪的识别是女性预防品行障碍的保护因素。
