Abstract

Psychopathy and trauma exposure are robustly associated with youth conduct problems, but the interrelation of these constructs is unclear. The objective of the present study is to examine psychopathy mediation effects related to trauma events and trauma reactions and juvenile delinquency, conduct disorder, crime seriousness, and proactive overt aggression outcomes. The sample consisted of N =388 (M = 16.01 years, SD = 1.03 years, age range = 13–18 years) male youths from Portugal. Path analysis procedures revealed that psychopathy partially mediates the relation between trauma events and the juvenile delinquency, conduct disorder, crime seriousness outcomes, and fully mediates the relation between trauma events and the proactive overt aggression outcome. Trauma reactions have no direct significant effect on psychopathy, and psychopathy does not mediate the relation between trauma reactions and the examined outcomes. Research on trauma and adverse childhood experiences should encompass both events and reactions to those events as they have differential associations with psychopathy and externalizing outcomes. Trauma-informed service, supervision, and treatment is essential for understanding antisocial development and psychological maladjustment among youth.

社区青年的创伤、精神病和反社会结果:区分创伤事件和创伤反应

精神病和创伤暴露与青少年行为问题密切相关，但这些构念之间的相互关系尚不清楚。摘要本研究旨在探讨心理创伤事件、心理创伤反应与青少年犯罪、行为障碍、犯罪严重程度和主动公开攻击结果之间的中介效应。样本由来自葡萄牙的男性青年N =388 (M = 16.01岁，SD = 1.03岁，年龄范围= 13-18岁)组成。通径分析结果显示，精神病态在创伤事件与青少年犯罪、行为障碍、犯罪严重程度结局之间具有部分中介作用，在创伤事件与青少年主动显性攻击结局之间具有完全中介作用。创伤反应对精神变态无直接显著影响，精神变态也不介导创伤反应与被测结果之间的关系。对创伤和不良童年经历的研究应该包括事件和对这些事件的反应，因为它们与精神病和外化结果有不同的联系。了解创伤的服务、监督和治疗是了解青少年反社会发展和心理失调的必要条件。
