Abstract

Abstract: The Child Problematic Traits Inventory (CPTI) is a teacher-reported instrument to assess psychopathic personality traits in 3 to 6-year-old children (M=4.78, SD=.60). This is the first study to test the reliability and validity of this instrument within a Portuguese sample of 264 children aged between 3 to 6 years (43.2% female). Cronbach alpha values greater than .80 were observed for all CPTI scale scores. Regarding the criterion validity, CPTI total and its three dimensions were significantly correlated with an alternative measure of impulsiveness. The CPTI items loaded differently on the three theoretically proposed factors: (1) Interpersonal/Grandiose-Deceitful, (2) Affective/Callous-Unemotional, and (3) Behavioral/Impulsive-Need for Stimulation. The Total CPTI and the three dimensions of CPTI were significantly correlated with the alternative measure of Impulsiveness – CBQ Impulsivity subscale (r=.37Total; .29Interpersonal; .26Affective; .45Behavioral). In conclusion, our findings suggest that the CPTI is a psychometrically sound measure to assess psychopathic personality traits in a sample of community-residing Portuguese children.

儿童问题特征量表在葡萄牙儿童中的心理计量特性

摘要：《儿童问题特质量表》（CPTI）是一个由教师报告的工具，用于评估 3-6 岁儿童的精神变态人格特质（中值=4.78，标差=0.60）。这是首次在葡萄牙的 264 名 3-6 岁儿童（43.2% 为女性）样本中测试该工具的信度和效度的研究。所有 CPTI 量表得分的 Cronbach Alpha 值均大于 0.80。在标准效度方面，CPTI 的总分及其三个维度与另一种冲动性测量方法有显著的相关性。CPTI 各项目在理论上提出的三个因子上的负荷各不相同：(1)人际关系/傲慢-欺骗，(2)情感/冷漠-缺乏情感，(3)行为/冲动-需要刺激。总 CPTI 和 CPTI 的三个维度与冲动性的替代测量--CBQ 冲动性分量表有显著相关性（r=.37 总；.29 人际；.26 情感；.45 行为）。总之，我们的研究结果表明，CPTI 是一种心理测量方法，可用于评估居住在社区的葡萄牙儿童的变态人格特质。
