Callous-Unemotional Traits in a Community Sample of Adolescents.
TLDR
The traits showed predicted associations with sensation seeking and the Big Five personality dimensions, supporting the construct validity of the measure of callous-unemotional traits.Abstract:
This study examined the structure, distribution, and correlates of a new measure of self-reported callous-unemotional (CU) traits in 1,443 adolescents (774 boys, 669 girls) between the ages of 13 to 18 years. The Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits was subjected to exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Exploratory factor analysis produced three factors: callousness, uncaring, and unemotional. Fit indexes suggested that the three-factor model, with a single higher-order factor, represented a satisfactory solution for the data. This factor structure fits well for both boys and girls. CU traits correlated significantly with measures of conduct problems and psychosocial impairment. Furthermore, the traits showed predicted associations with sensation seeking and the Big Five personality dimensions, supporting the construct validity of the measure of CU traits.read more

Research Review: The importance of callous‐unemotional traits for developmental models of aggressive and antisocial behavior
Paul J. Frick,Stuart F. White +1 more
TL;DR: Research suggesting that the presence of a callous and unemotional interpersonal style designates an important subgroup of antisocial and aggressive youth with particularly severe, aggressive, and stable pattern of antissocial behavior is reviewed.

Can callous-unemotional traits enhance the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of serious conduct problems in children and adolescents? A comprehensive review.
TL;DR: Although children and adolescents with both severe conduct problems and elevated CU traits tend to respond less positively to typical interventions provided in mental health and juvenile justice settings, they show positive responses to certain intensive interventions tailored to their unique emotional and cognitive characteristics.

TL;DR: The factor structure and correlates of the ICU scale in a sample of juvenile offenders between the ages of 12 and 20 are tested and confirmatory factor analyses are consistent with the presence of three independent factors that relate to a higher-order callous-unemotional dimension.

Feeling, caring, knowing: different types of empathy deficit in boys with psychopathic tendencies and autism spectrum disorder
Alice P. Jones,Alice P. Jones,Francesca Happé,Francesca Gilbert,Stephanie Burnett,Essi Viding +5 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the affective/information processing correlates of psychopathic tendencies and ASD are quite different, whereas ASD is characterised by difficulties in knowing what other people think.

Not just fear and sadness: Meta-analytic evidence of pervasive emotion recognition deficits for facial and vocal expressions in psychopathy
TL;DR: Evidence of pervasive impairments across modalities with significant deficits evident for several emotions in both adults and children/adolescents is found, consistent with recent theorizing that the amygdala, which is believed to be dysfunctional in psychopathy, has a broad role in emotion processing.

Alternative Ways of Assessing Model Fit
Michael W. Browne,Robert Cudeck +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two types of error involved in fitting a model are considered, error of approximation and error of fit, where the first involves the fit of the model, and the second involves the model's shape.

Adolescence-limited and life-course-persistent antisocial behavior: A developmental taxonomy.
TL;DR: It is suggested that delinquency conceals 2 distinct categories of individuals, each with a unique natural history and etiology: a small group engages in antisocial behavior of 1 sort or another at every life stage, whereas a larger group is antisocial only during adolescence.

Back-Translation for Cross-Cultural Research
TL;DR: The authors investigated factors that affect translation quality and how equivalence between source and target versions can be evaluated through an analysis of variance design, and concluded that translation quality can be predicted, and that a functionally equivalent translation can be demonstrated when responses to the original and target translations are studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, Bollen et al. proposed a model fitting metric for Structural Equation Models, which is based on the Monte Carlo evaluation of Goodness-of-Fit measures.

Factor Analysis and AIC
TL;DR: The information criterion AIC was introduced to extend the method of maximum likelihood to the multimodel situation by relating the successful experience of the order determination of an autoregressive model to the determination of the number of factors in the maximum likelihood factor analysis as discussed by the authors.
