The Child Problematic Traits Inventory (CPTI) is a newly developed informant-rated instrument to measure psychopathic traits during early childhood. The aim of this study was to examine the longitudinal measurement invariance of the CPTI in a group of Chinese schoolchildren. Mothers of 585 children aged 8 to 12 years (50% girls) completed the CPTI twice with one-year interval. Confirmatory factor analyses showed that the CPTI had strict invariance (i.e., equality of factor patterns, loadings, intercepts, and item uniqueness) across time. Furthermore, the internal consistencies for the CPTI subscales were good at both time points and the stability coefficients over time were moderate. Findings suggest that, in children aged 8 to 12 years old, changes in CPTI scores across time can be attributed to actual changes in the child's psychopathic personality.
儿童问题特质问卷（CPTI）是一种新开发的知情者评定工具，用于测量幼儿期的精神病特质。本研究的目的是检验该问卷在一组中国学童中的纵向测量不变性。585 名 8 至 12 岁儿童（50%为女孩）的母亲在一年的间隔内两次完成 CPTI。验证性因素分析表明，CPTI 具有严格的不变性（即，因子模式、负荷、截距和项目独特性的平等）。此外，CPTI 分量表在两个时间点的内部一致性都很好，时间上的稳定性系数也适中。研究结果表明，在 8 至 12 岁的儿童中，CPTI 分数随时间的变化可以归因于儿童的精神病人格的实际变化。
