Callous unemotional (CU) traits refer to specific deficits in affective experience and interpersonal style, characterized by absence of guilt, constrictive display of emotion and failure to show empathy, callous use of others for one's own gain. The Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (ICU) was developed to measure CU traits in children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to analyze the factorial structure of the Portuguese version of teacher-report ICU for children in school age and examine psychometric properties such as internal consistency and convergent validity in a community sample. Thirty-six teachers provided behavioral ratings of 100 and 78 children of elementary school, 88 boys and 90 girls, aged between 6 and 10 years old. Confirmatory factor analyses provided further support to a 2-factor structure, comprising the following dimensions: and . This study showed that the ICU seems a reliable an accessible tool that can be used in the Portuguese educational context to evaluate CU traits with low time consumption.
冷酷无情（CU）特质是指在情感体验和人际风格方面的特定缺陷，其特征为缺乏内疚感、限制情绪表达以及缺乏同理心，冷酷地利用他人来谋取自身利益。用于测量儿童和青少年 CU 特质的《冷酷无情特质量表》（ICU）由此诞生。本研究旨在分析教师报告式儿童 ICU 量表在学龄儿童中的因子结构，并在社区样本中检验其信度和聚合效度等心理测量学属性。共有 36 名教师对 100 名和 78 名小学生（男生 88 人，女生 90 人）进行了行为评定，这些学生年龄在 6 至 10 岁之间。验证性因子分析进一步支持了包含两个维度的 2 因素结构： 和 。本研究表明，ICU 似乎是一种可靠且易于使用的工具，可以在葡萄牙教育环境中用于评估 CU 特质，其耗时较短。
