This study aimed to further validate the self-reported version of the Proposed Specifiers Conduct Disorder (PSCD) scale, testing the associations between the PSCD with a scale that measures emotional/behavioral difficulties and prosocial behaviors (Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire, SDQ). A total of 536 Italian students (47.76% male; 11-14 years) completed the PSCD, while their caregivers and teachers completed the SDQ. A series of confirmatory factor analyses to test the best fitting model were run. The internal consistency of the PSCD was evaluated, and the correlations between the PSCD self-reported scores and SDQ Parent and Teacher report scores were examined. A bi-factor model was fitted with a refined 19-item version of the scale, which showed adequate fit indices. The PSCD total score was strongly associated with higher parent- and teacher-rated conduct problems, hyperactivity, and lower prosocial behavioral symptoms. In conclusion, this study indicated that the self-report PSCD shows preliminary promise as a reliable, easy-to-use tool, for measuring psychopathic traits in Italian children and young adolescents.
本研究旨在进一步验证拟议的品行障碍特定指标（PSCD）量表的自我报告版本，测试PSCD与一个测量情绪/行为困难和亲社会行为的量表（长处与困难问卷，SDQ）之间的关联。共有536名意大利学生（47.76%为男性；年龄在11至14岁之间）完成了PSCD量表，而他们的照顾者和教师完成了SDQ量表。进行了一系列验证性因素分析以检验最佳拟合模型。评估了PSCD的内部一致性，并检验了PSCD自我报告得分与SDQ家长和教师报告得分之间的相关性。对该量表经过优化的19个项目版本拟合了一个双因素模型，该模型显示出足够的拟合指数。PSCD总分与家长和教师评定的更高的品行问题、多动以及更低的亲社会行为症状密切相关。总之，本研究表明，自我报告的PSCD作为一种可靠、易用的工具，在测量意大利儿童和青少年的精神病态特质方面显示出初步的前景。
