The current study examined the psychometric properties of the Proposed Specifiers for Conduct Disorder (PSCD) in a sample of school-attending adolescent Belgian youth (N = 599; M age = 16.51 years, SD = 1.27). Given the recent interest in the PSCD-Short Version (PSCD-SV), this study focused on the 13-item variant of the PSCD. Study findings showed that the PSCD-SV had a hierarchical four-factor structure including the components of grandiose-manipulative (GM), callous-unemotional (CU), daring-impulsive (DI), and conduct disorder (CD). These interrelated factors were found to be internally consistent. The study also showed that the PSCD-SV total score was positively and significantly related to an alternate measure of psychopathy. Further, the study revealed the PSCD-SV was meaningfully related to the five-factor personality domains (i.e., extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness) as well as peer functioning and prosocial behavior. Bivariate correlations demonstrated that the dimensions differed in their associations with external correlates (e.g., peer functioning). Regression analyses showed that the GM, CU, and CD components of the PSCD-SV were uniquely associated to externalizing difficulties, whereas only the GM and CU components of the PSCD-SV were associated with low prosocial behaviors. These findings shed light on the conceptual and developmental models for the consideration of psychopathy and conduct problems. The use of the broader psychopathy condition as well as its underpinning dimensions may have important implications for assessment, treatment, and diagnostic manuals. The implications of the current study are further discussed.
本研究在一群就读于学校的比利时青少年样本（N = 599；平均年龄 = 16.51岁，标准差 = 1.27）中检验了品行障碍拟议说明符（PSCD）的心理测量特性。鉴于最近对PSCD简版（PSCD-SV）的关注，本研究聚焦于PSCD的13项版本。研究结果表明，PSCD-SV具有一个分层的四因素结构，包括浮夸-操纵性（GM）、冷酷-无情（CU）、大胆-冲动（DI）和品行障碍（CD）等成分。这些相互关联的因素在内部是一致的。该研究还表明，PSCD-SV总分与精神病态的替代测量指标呈显著正相关。此外，该研究揭示PSCD-SV与五因素人格领域（即外向性、尽责性、宜人性）以及同伴功能和亲社会行为有显著关联。双变量相关性表明，各维度与外部相关因素（如同伴功能）的关联有所不同。回归分析表明，PSCD-SV的GM、CU和CD成分与外化困难有独特关联，而只有PSCD-SV的GM和CU成分与亲社会行为较少有关。这些发现为考虑精神病态和品行问题的概念及发展模型提供了启示。使用更宽泛的精神病态状况及其潜在维度可能对评估、治疗和诊断手册有重要意义。本文进一步讨论了当前研究的意义。
