Abstract

Childhood callous-unemotional (CU) traits are associated with a neurocognitive response style of high reward and low punishment sensitivity, which may make these children particularly vulnerable to substance misuse. However, the mechanisms explaining the link between CU traits and substance use are poorly understood. This study investigated the mediating influences of reward and punishment sensitivity on the association between childhood CU traits and adolescent substance use. Using data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study, mediation analyses were conducted to investigate the potential indirect effects of age 14 reward and punishment sensitivity in risk-taking on the relationships between age 11 CU traits and alcohol, cannabis, and other illicit drug use at age 17. No direct effects of CU traits on substance use were found when accounting for gender, baseline alcohol use, poverty, emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity, and verbal ability at age 11. Indirect effects of increased reward sensitivity on the relationship between CU traits and increased use were seen for alcohol, cannabis, and other drugs. There was a significant indirect effect of reduced punishment sensitivity on the relationship between CU traits and increased alcohol use, but not cannabis or other substance use. Findings suggest that reward and punishment sensitivity may have independent effects on decision-making processes contributing to adolescent substance use. Prevention and early intervention for substance use should consider modifying intervention strategies to fit the needs of adolescents with a callous interpersonal style and a neurocognitive profile characterized by a high drive for rewards and low risk aversion.

在一个纵向队列研究样本中,冒险中的惩罚和奖赏敏感性是解释童年冷酷无情特质与青少年药物使用之间关系的潜在机制。
儿童期的 "冷酷无情"(CU)特质与高奖赏、低惩罚敏感性的神经认知反应风格有关,这可能会使这些儿童特别容易滥用药物。然而,人们对解释 CU 特质与药物滥用之间联系的机制却知之甚少。本研究调查了奖惩敏感性对儿童CU特质与青少年药物使用之间关系的中介影响。利用英国千年队列研究(UK Millennium Cohort Study)的数据,我们进行了中介分析,以研究 14 岁时冒险行为中的奖惩敏感性对 11 岁时 CU 特质与 17 岁时酒精、大麻和其他非法药物使用之间关系的潜在间接影响。在考虑了 11 岁时的性别、基线酒精使用情况、贫困、情绪症状、行为问题、多动和语言能力等因素后,没有发现 CU 特质对药物使用的直接影响。在酒精、大麻和其他药物方面,奖赏敏感性的增加对 CU 特质与药物使用增加之间的关系产生了间接影响。惩罚敏感性降低对 CU 特质与酗酒增加之间的关系有明显的间接影响,但对大麻或其他药物的使用没有影响。研究结果表明,奖励和惩罚敏感性可能会对导致青少年使用药物的决策过程产生独立影响。对药物使用的预防和早期干预应考虑修改干预策略,以适应具有冷酷无情的人际风格和以高奖赏驱动力和低风险规避为特征的神经认知特征的青少年的需要。
