Abstract

There is strong evidence that peers are of central importance to children's and adolescents' social and emotional adaptation and success in school. However, it remains an open question as to whether callous-unemotional (CU) traits, or interpersonal and affective deficits that pose risk for antisocial behaviors and psychopathy, are related to social-behavioral outcomes as assessed by those who are believed to have the most accurate perspectives on such outcomes - young adolescents' peers. Using data from a longitudinal and multi-method study of peer relations (N = 379, % female = 51.90, Mage = 10.24 at Time 1), the current study addressed this gap by examining the links between teacher-reports of CU traits and conduct problems (CP) and peer-reports of the extent to which young adolescents are aggressive, victimized, excluded, prosocial, and sociable during the Fall and Spring semesters in Grade 5 (Times 1and 2) and Grade 6 (Times 3 and 4). Results revealed that teacher-rated CP, but not CU traits, was associated positively with peer-reports of aggression. CU traits, but not CP, was associated positively with victimization/exclusion and associated negatively with prosociality. CU traits and CP demonstrated opposite relations with sociability, with CU traits demonstrating a negative association. Findings are discussed in the context of the broader literature examining the social-behavioral correlates of CU traits.

中小学冷酷无情特质与同伴评价社会行为结果的关系
有强有力的证据表明,同伴对儿童和青少年的社会和情感适应以及在学校的成功至关重要。然而,对于那些被认为对社会行为结果有最准确看法的人——青少年的同龄人——所评估的社会行为结果是否与冷酷无情(CU)特征或人际和情感缺陷有关,这仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。这些特征或人际和情感缺陷可能会导致反社会行为和精神病。使用数据从一个对等关系的纵向和多方法研究(N = 379, %女= 51.90,法师在时间1 = 10.24),当前的研究解决这一差距通过检查铜特质和行为问题的老师之间的联系(CP)和周围同龄人的程度青少年攻击性,受害,排除在外,亲社会,交际在秋季和春季学期(* 1和2)和五年级6(* 3和4)。结果显示,teacher-rated CP,而不是CU特征,与同伴报告的攻击性呈正相关。CU特征与受害/排斥呈正相关,与亲社会负相关,而CP特征与受害/排斥呈正相关。CU性状和CP性状与社交性呈负相关,CU性状与社交性呈负相关。研究结果在更广泛的文献背景下讨论了CU特征的社会行为相关性。

期刊介绍: Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology brings together the latest innovative research that advances knowledge of psychopathology from infancy through adolescence. The journal publishes studies that have a strong theoretical framework and use a diversity of methods, with an emphasis on empirical studies of the major forms of psychopathology found in childhood disorders (e.g., disruptive behavior disorders, depression, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder). Studies focus on the epidemiology, etiology, assessment, treatment, prognosis, and developmental course of these forms of psychopathology. Studies highlighting risk and protective factors; the ecology and correlates of children''s emotional, social, and behavior problems; and advances in prevention and treatment are featured. Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology is the official journal of the International Society for Research in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology (ISRCAP), a multidisciplinary scientific society.
