Conduct a systematic review concerning the literature that reflects whether the callous and unemotional traits present in childhood and/or adolescence are precursors in the development of female psychopathy in adulthood.
A systematic review involved consulting three databases-EBSCO, the Web of Science, and PubMed-for peer-reviewed and quantitative studies within the period 2000-2023. Nine articles with quality of three and above were included.
The presence of callous and unemotional traits designates a group of youth that show characteristics associated with psychopathy, specifically when predicting a more severe and chronic pattern of antisocial behaviour. Children with high rates of callous and unemotional traits, who show symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in combination with severe conduct problems, are most likely to show features associated with psychopathy. The multidimensional psychopathy construct is considered a better predictor of future and stable antisocial behaviour than the callous and unemotional traits alone model.
According to the studies selected, the callous and unemotional traits in childhood seem to be precursors of female psychopathy in adulthood, but only because of the way they seem to enhance conduct problems, disruptive behaviour disorders, and, as a possible outcome, delinquency and antisocial traits, which may be precursors of future psychopathy.
对反映儿童期和/或青春期存在无情和冷漠特征是否是成年女性精神病态发展前兆的文献进行系统回顾。
系统回顾包括查阅 EBSCO、Web of Science 和 PubMed 三个数据库，以获取 2000 年至 2023 年期间的同行评审和定量研究。纳入了 9 篇质量评分为 3 分及以上的文章。
无情和冷漠特征的存在指定了一组表现出与精神病态相关特征的年轻人，特别是在预测更严重和慢性反社会行为模式时。表现出注意力缺陷多动障碍症状且伴有严重品行问题的高无情和冷漠特征儿童，最有可能表现出与精神病态相关的特征。多维精神病态结构被认为比无情和冷漠特征单独模型更能预测未来和稳定的反社会行为。
根据所选研究，儿童期的无情和冷漠特征似乎是成年女性精神病态的前兆，但这仅仅是因为它们似乎增强了品行问题、破坏性行为障碍，并且可能是未来精神病态的前兆，如 delinquency 和反社会特征。
