This research attempted to test D. R. Lynam's (1996) hypothesis regarding the developmental relation between adult psychopathy and children with symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and attention problems (HIA) and concurrent conduct problems (CP). In a large sample of adolescent boys, 4 groups (non-HIA-CP, HIA only, CP only, and HIA-CP) were compared on measures found to discriminate between psychopathic and nonpsychopathic offenders. In line with predictions, the HIA-CP boys most closely resembled psychopathic adults. HIA-CP boys scored higher than HIA-only and non-HIA-CP boys on a measure of psychopathic personality. As with their adult counterparts, HIA-CP boys were the most antisocial, were the most disinhibited, and tended to be the most neuropsychologically impaired of all the groups. Implications for treatment, research, and the study of comorbidity are discussed.
本研究试图检验D. R. 莱纳姆（1996年）提出的关于成人精神病态与有多动、冲动和注意力问题（HIA）症状及并发行为问题（CP）的儿童之间发展关系的假设。在一个由青少年男孩组成的大样本中，对四组（非HIA-CP组、仅HIA组、仅CP组和HIA-CP组）在用于区分精神病态和非精神病态罪犯的测量指标上进行了比较。与预测相符，HIA-CP组男孩与精神病态成人最为相似。在精神病态人格测量指标上，HIA-CP组男孩得分高于仅HIA组和非HIA-CP组男孩。与成年精神病态者一样，HIA-CP组男孩在所有组中是最具反社会性的、最不受抑制的，并且往往是神经心理受损最严重的。文中讨论了对治疗、研究和共病研究的启示。
