Diagnostic Labeling in Juvenile Court: How Do Descriptions of Psychopathy and Conduct Disorder Influence Judges? / Daniel C. MURRIE in Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, 36-2 (April-June 2007)

CORNELL, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.228-241 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the influence of diagnostic criteria and diagnostic labels for psychopathy or conduct disorder on judicial decisions. A national sample of judges (N = 326) rendered hypothetical dispositions based on 1 of 12 mock psychological evaluations. The evaluations varied the presence of 2 sets of diagnostic criteria (antisocial behavioral history and psychopathic personality traits) and 3 diagnostic labels (conduct disorder, psychopathy, no diagnosis) to distinguish diagnostic criterion effects from diagnostic labeling effects. Results revealed substantial effects (Cohen's d = .33— 1.27 on 6 of 9 variables) for a history of antisocial behavior. Psychopathic personality features also appeared influential, albeit on fewer variables. There were no negative effects associated with conduct disorder or psychopathy labels. Results suggest that the criteria underlying labels, more than labels themselves, exert influence in juvenile justice contexts.

Youth with psychopathy features are not a discrete class: a taxometric analysis / Daniel C. MURRIE in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 48-7 (July 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 48-7 (July 2007) . - p.714–723 Titre : Youth with psychopathy features are not a discrete class: a taxometric analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Daniel C. MURRIE, Auteur ; David K. MARCUS, Auteur ; Kevin S. DOUGLAS, Auteur ; Zina LEE, Auteur ; Randall T. SALEKIN, Auteur ; Gina VINCENT, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.714–723 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Psychopathy juvenile-psychopathy callous-unemotional taxometric dimensional antisocial conduct-disorder Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Recently, researchers have sought to measure psychopathy-like features among youth in hopes of identifying children who may be progressing toward a particularly destructive form of adult pathology. However, it remains unclear whether psychopathy-like personality features among youth are best conceptualized as dimensional (distributed along a continuum) or taxonic (such that youth with psychopathic personality characteristics are qualitatively distinct from non-psychopathic youth). Methods: This study applied taxometric analyses (MAMBAC, MAXEIG, and L-Mode) to scores from two primary measures of youth psychopathy features: the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (N = 757) and the self-report Antisocial Process Screening Device (N = 489) among delinquent boys. Results: All analyses supported a dimensional structure, indicating that psychopathy features among youth are best understood as existing along a continuum. Conclusions: Although youth clearly vary in the degree to which they manifest psychopathy-like personality traits, there is no natural, discrete class of young ‘psychopaths.’ This finding has implications for developmental theory, treatment, assessment strategies, research, and clinical/forensic practice.
