Former studies demonstrated that antisocial youth with callous-unemotional (CU) traits are impaired in the processing of negative emotional stimuli. The aim of the current study was to explore the moderating role of different behavioural (i.e. conduct problems, hyperactivity-inattention) and emotional problems (i.e. internalizing symptoms) in the relationship between CU traits and attentional bias towards emotional stimuli. Besides using self-report measures, attentional bias was tested by an affective dot-probe task in a high-risk sample of 102 adolescent boys ( age = 16.34 years; = 1.32). CU traits were related to reduced attention to emotionally distressing pictures. Furthermore, conduct problems significantly moderated the relationship between CU traits and attention to distress cues. These findings highlight the importance of considering potential moderators to the well-established link between CU traits and deficits in response to negative emotional cues.
先前的研究表明，具有冷酷无情（CU）特质的反社会青年在处理负面情绪刺激方面存在缺陷。本研究的目的是探讨不同行为问题（即品行问题、多动-注意力不集中）和情绪问题（即内化症状）在CU特质与对情绪刺激的注意偏向之间的关系中所起的调节作用。除了使用自我报告测量方法外，还通过情感点探测任务对102名青少年男孩（年龄 = 16.34岁；标准差 = 1.32）的高危样本进行了注意偏向测试。CU特质与对情绪困扰图片的注意力降低有关。此外，品行问题显著调节了CU特质与对困扰线索的注意力之间的关系。这些发现凸显了考虑潜在调节因素对于CU特质与对负面情绪线索反应缺陷之间既定联系的重要性。
