TLDR
Children with high or increasing levels of CU traits and concomitant high levels of CP presented the most negative outcomes at 12 years (including hyperactivity, peer problems, emotional problems, and negative parental feelings).Abstract:
Callous-unemotional (CU) traits are associated with antisocial and delinquent behaviors in children and represent a potential risk factor for adult psychopathy. However, there is a paucity of longitudinal research that explores the development of these traits, their longitudinal association with conduct problems (CP), and their psychosocial predictors and outcomes. Using a large sample of children followed longitudinally from the Twins Early Development Study (N=9,578), we described the joint developmental trajectories of CU traits and CP during childhood (between ages 7 and 12) and examined the child- and family-level predictors (4 years old) and concomitant outcomes (12 years old) associated with the trajectories. The developmental trajectories were characterized with teachers' ratings of CU traits and CP from ages 7 to 12. Using general growth mixture modeling, we identified four trajectories of CU traits (stable high, increasing, decreasing, and stable low) and two trajectories of CP (high and low). Compared with the children who followed a low trajectory of CU traits and CP, those who followed a high trajectory of CU traits and CP had more negative child- and family-level predictors at 4 years (including CP, hyperactivity, negative parental discipline, and chaos in the home). Children with high or increasing levels of CU traits and concomitant high levels of CP presented the most negative outcomes at 12 years (including hyperactivity, peer problems, emotional problems, and negative parental feelings). Children with high CU traits and concomitant high levels of CP in childhood should be prioritized for targeted intervention.read more

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.

Annual research review: A developmental psychopathology approach to understanding callous-unemotional traits in children and adolescents with serious conduct problems.
TL;DR: Research on the normal development of the prosocial emotions of empathy and guilt is summarized and it is illustrated how the development of CU traits can be viewed as thenormal development of conscience gone awry.

What are the associations between parenting, callous–unemotional traits, and antisocial behavior in youth? A systematic review of evidence.
TL;DR: Evidence from studies that have investigated various relationships between parenting, CU traits, and antisocial behavior is examined, suggesting that dimensions of parenting are prospectively related to changes in CU traits.

TL;DR: The first proposals of the ICD-11 working group for the reclassification of personality disorders were presented in this paper. But they did not address the problem of the classification of personality difficulty below the severity of disorder.

Antisociality and the Construct of Psychopathy: Data From Across the Globe
TL;DR: The overall findings indicate that the associations were moderate to strong, depending on the nature of the sample, and clearly indicate that antisociality is a core component of the psychopathy construct.

The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire: A Research Note
TL;DR: Preliminary findings suggest that the SDQ functions as well as the Rutter questionnaires while offering the following additional advantages: a focus on strengths as as difficulties; better coverage of inattention, peer relationships, and prosocial behaviour; a shorter format; and a single form suitable for both parents and teachers, perhaps thereby increasing parent-teacher correlations.

Bayesian Model Selection in Social Research
TL;DR: In this article, a Bayesian approach to hypothesis testing, model selection, and accounting for model uncertainty is presented, which is straightforward through the use of the simple and accurate BIC approximation, and it can be done using the output from standard software.

TL;DR: The reliability and validity of the SDQ make it a useful brief measure of the adjustment and psychopathology of children and adolescents.

Testing the number of components in a normal mixture
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the likelihood ratio statistic based on the Kullback-Leibler information criterion of the null hypothesis that a random sample is drawn from a k 0 -component normal mixture distribution against the alternative hypothesis that the sample was drawn from an k 1 -component normalized mixture distribution is asymptotically distributed as a weighted sum of independent chi-squared random variables with one degree of freedom, under general regularity conditions.
The of a Development
TL;DR: A good development plan is not a simple document as discussed by the authors. To be powerful, it has to be built around a development model grounded in real-world experience and have to be carefully crafted to fit the needs of the person being developed.
