Callous-unemotional traits and the emotional processing of distress cues in detained boys: Testing the moderating role of aggression, exposure to community violence, and histories of abuse / Eva R. KIMONIS in Development and Psychopathology, 20-2 (Spring 2008)

In the current study, we investigated moderators of this association in a sample of 88 ethnically diverse detained boys (mean age = 15.57, SD = 1.28). Overall, emotional processing of distressing stimuli using a dot-probe task was not related to CU traits and there was no moderating effect of ethnicity. However, CU traits were related to deficits in emotional processing in youth high on aggression and youth high on exposure to community violence. Further, youth high on CU traits but with enhanced orienting to distressing stimuli had stronger histories of abuse, supporting the possibility that there may be environmentally influenced pathways in the development of these traits.

Verbal ability and delinquency: testing the moderating role of psychopathic traits / Luna C. MUNOZ in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 49-4 (April 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 49-4 (April 2008) . - p.414–421 Titre : Verbal ability and delinquency: testing the moderating role of psychopathic traits Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Luna C.

AUCOIN, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.414–421 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Callous-unemotional-traits psychopathy autonomic-reactivity skin-conductance verbal-ability violence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Impaired verbal abilities are one of the most consistent risk factors for serious antisocial and delinquent behavior. However, individuals with psychopathic traits often show serious antisocial behavior, despite showing no impairment in their verbal abilities. Thus, the aim of the current study was to examine whether psychopathy moderates the relationship between verbal abilities and delinquent behavior in a sample of detained youth. Methods: The sample included 100 detained adolescent boys who were assessed on self-reported delinquent acts and psychopathic traits, as well as their age at first offense based on official records. Participants also completed a competitive computer task involving two levels of provocation, during which skin conductance was measured. A standard measure of receptive vocabulary was individually administered. Results: As predicted, there was a significant interaction between callous-unemotional (CU) traits (a critical dimension of psychopathy) and verbal ability when predicting violent delinquency. Individuals who were high on CU traits with higher scores on the measure of verbal abilities reported the greatest violent delinquency. These individuals also showed the lowest level of skin conductance reactivity during the provocation task. Conclusions: The results suggest CU traits are an important moderator of the relation between verbal abilities and violent delinquency.
