Recent work indicates clinically meaningful differences in domains of psychopathic personality - such as grandiose-manipulative (GM), callous-unemotional (CU), and daring-impulsive (DI) traits - and parenting factors. Yet, different domains of parenting and reports from multiple informants may vary in their associations to psychopathic traits. This study examined psychopathic traits and their links with parental monitoring behaviors, parental knowledge, and adolescent disclosure. Further, we evaluated whether adolescents' self-reported resting arousal moderated these associations. A mixed clinic-referred/community sample of 134 adolescent-parent dyads (M = 14.49; SD = 0.50; 66.4% female) completed multi-dimensional measures of psychopathy, parental monitoring behaviors, parental knowledge, and adolescent disclosure; adolescents also self-reported on their resting arousal. Results indicated links between: (a) increased parent-reported GM traits and decreased parent-reported parental knowledge, and (b) increased parent-reported DI traits and lower parent-reported monitoring behaviors, which were attenuated at high levels of adolescent-reported resting arousal. Associations between elevated dimensions of psychopathic traits and lower levels of parental monitoring behaviors, parental knowledge, and adolescent disclosure were most consistent within-informants, with some cross-informant associations identified for links between elevated GM and DI and lower levels of parental monitoring behaviors and parental knowledge. These findings have important implications for our understanding of how to assess and prevent psychopathy and associated externalizing problems, and suggest that targeting modifiable environmental and psychophysiological factors may be particularly important.
近期研究表明，在精神病态人格的各个维度（如浮夸-操纵性（GM）、冷酷-无情（CU）和大胆-冲动（DI）特质）与养育因素之间存在具有临床意义的差异。然而，养育方式的不同维度以及来自多个信息提供者的报告在与精神病态特质的关联上可能存在差异。本研究考察了精神病态特质及其与父母监督行为、父母了解情况和青少年披露情况之间的联系。此外，我们评估了青少年自我报告的静息唤醒水平是否调节了这些关联。一个由134对青少年-父母二元组组成的混合临床转诊/社区样本（M = 14.49；标准差 = 0.50；66.4%为女性）完成了关于精神病态、父母监督行为、父母了解情况和青少年披露情况的多维度测量；青少年还自我报告了他们的静息唤醒水平。结果表明存在以下联系：（a）父母报告的GM特质增加与父母报告的父母了解情况减少之间的联系，以及（b）父母报告的DI特质增加与父母报告的监督行为减少之间的联系，而在青少年报告的静息唤醒水平较高时，这些联系会减弱。精神病态特质维度升高与父母监督行为、父母了解情况和青少年披露水平降低之间的关联在信息提供者内部最为一致，在GM和DI升高与父母监督行为和父母了解情况降低之间的联系方面也发现了一些跨信息提供者的关联。这些发现对于我们理解如何评估和预防精神病态及相关的外化问题具有重要意义，并表明针对可改变的环境和心理生理因素可能尤为重要。
