The aim of this study was to further test the reliability and validity of a newly developed instrument designed to assess psychopathic traits in children, the Child Problematic Traits Inventory (CPTI). Teachers and mothers of 686 approximately 6- to 12-year-old children (48.1% girls) completed the CPTI. Confirmatory factor analyses supported the proposed 3-factor structure of the CPTI teacher and parent versions and good to excellent internal consistency of the teacher- and mother-based CPTI scores were found. The validity of the teacher- and mother-based CPTI scores was supported by revealing the expected relations with conduct problems, hyperactivity, and various dimensions of temperament. In conclusion, the results suggest that the CPTI holds promise as a teacher- and parent-rated tool for assessing psychopathic traits in Chinese children, although more research is needed to see if these findings can be generalized to other Chinese samples and settings.

本研究旨在进一步测试一种新开发的工具的信度和效度，该工具旨在评估儿童的精神病特质，即儿童问题特质量表（CPTI）。686 名大约 6 至 12 岁的儿童（48.1%为女孩）的教师和母亲完成了 CPTI。验证性因素分析支持 CPTI 教师和家长版本的拟议的 3 因素结构，并且发现教师和母亲的 CPTI 评分具有良好到极好的内部一致性。教师和母亲的 CPTI 评分的有效性通过揭示与行为问题、多动和各种气质维度的预期关系得到支持。总之，研究结果表明，CPTI 有望成为评估中国儿童精神病特质的教师和家长评定工具，尽管需要更多的研究来确定这些发现是否可以推广到其他中国样本和环境。
