Article Abstract
The main aim of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (ICU) among a sample of incarcerated male Portuguese juvenile offenders (N = 221). Based on this sample, the Portuguese version of the ICU demonstrated promising psychometric properties, namely, in terms of factor structure, internal consistency, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and concurrent validity that generally justifies its use among this population. Statistically significant associations were found with conduct disorder, age of criminal onset, crime seriousness, physical violence use in committing crimes, alcohol use, cannabis use, and cocaine/heroin use.

Callous-unemotional (CU) behaviors are a significant marker of early socioemotional disorders. This study investigated the role of parental media soothing as a potential risk factor for CU behaviors in young children and the indirect effects of children's emotion regulation competence and effortful control. Data were collected from 1095 Chinese parents of young children (M = 60.

Background: The Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory-Short Version (YPI-S) is a widely used self-report measure assessing psychopathic traits across three dimensions: Grandiose-Manipulative (GM), Callous-Unemotional (CU), and Impulsive-Irresponsible (II). Although originally developed for adolescents, emerging evidence suggests its relevance for adults. However, its psychometric properties have not been evaluated in adult clinical populations.

Background: The paucity of research examining the long-term self-reported stability of psychopathic traits in adolescents in residential care (both child welfare and juvenile justice system-placed juveniles) and potential influencing factors is a matter of concern. Since psychopathic traits tend to be associated with an earlier onset of delinquent behavior, higher levels of delinquent behavior, and higher rates of recidivism, it is important to study this phenomenon in more detail. The present study aims to examine the long-term stability of psychopathic traits, including its underlying dimensions, in young adults with a history of residential care.

Psychopathic traits assessed with expert-rated instruments are well-established predictors for both general and violent felony recidivism outcomes in adjudicated youth. However, it is not clear whether self-report assessments of psychopathic traits show similar predictive value. The current study evaluated both expert-rated (i.

Most IRT applications in personality assume that the measured trait is a bipolar dimension, normally distributed in the population. These assumptions, however, could be questionable for maladaptive, (quasi) pathological traits that still fall in the normal range. This study focuses on one such trait, Callousness, and uses two different instruments and samples to determine whether there is a basis for modeling it as a unipolar trait instead of a bipolar one.
