The present study aims to further examine the four-factor model of psychopathy in adolescence with a new alternate model for the assessment of psychopathic traits and conduct disorder (CD): The Proposed Specifiers for Conduct Disorder-Short version (PSCD-SV). Data were collected in a sample of 414 adolescents (49.2% females) aged 12-15 at the first assessment who were then followed-up 2 years later. Results supported the usefulness of the PSCD-SV to assess the broader construct of psychopathy showing good psychometric properties, including adequate reliability and validity, while accounting for all its dimensions. In addition, the study showed close associations between psychopathic traits and adolescent behavioral, emotional and psychosocial maladjustment. Finally, the findings elucidated the PSCD's connection to parental support and psychological control, and reinforced the potential role of parenting practices as predictors that can act as mechanisms of change in the development of psychopathy. Overall, current findings shed light on conceptual and developmental models of psychopathy that may have implications for assessment, diagnostic classification, prevention, and intervention.
本研究旨在进一步探讨青少年心理变态的四因素模型，提出一种新的替代模型来评估心理变态特征和品行障碍（CD）：品行障碍的拟议特征-短版（PSCD-SV）。数据来自于 414 名年龄在 12-15 岁的青少年（49.2%为女性）的样本，他们在第一次评估时被收集，然后在 2 年后进行了随访。结果支持 PSCD-SV 评估更广泛的心理变态结构的有用性，表现出良好的心理测量特性，包括足够的可靠性和有效性，同时考虑到所有维度。此外，该研究表明心理变态特征与青少年行为、情感和心理社会适应不良密切相关。最后，研究结果阐明了 PSCD 与父母支持和心理控制的联系，并强调了养育实践作为可以作为心理变态发展变化机制的预测因素的潜在作用。总的来说，目前的研究结果揭示了心理变态的概念和发展模型，这可能对评估、诊断分类、预防和干预具有重要意义。
