Frick James V. Ray Laura C. Thornton Tina D. Wall Myers Emily L. Robertson Toni M. Walker Laurence Steinberg Elizabeth Cauffman Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry Background Callous‐unemotional (CU) traits were recently added as a diagnostic specifier for disruptive behavior disorders, largely due to their prognostic utility. However, past longitudinal research has yielded mixed results when investigating associations between CU traits and long‐term outcomes, particularly when controlling for the individual's level of antisocial behavior. Methods The current study investigated the longitudinal predictive utility of CU traits in a sample of 1,216 adolescents involved in the juvenile justice system who were followed for 7 years after their first arrest. Growth models of CU traits throughout adolescence were used to predict a variety of young adult outcomes (e.g., aggression, financially‐motivated crime, and social impairment) while controlling for the trajectory of antisocial behavior throughout adolescence. Results Results indicated that adolescent CU traits predicted a variety of antisocial and social outcomes. While several of these associations were no longer significant after accounting for antisocial behavior, CU traits incrementally predicted several early adulthood outcomes (e.g., more arrests, greater aggression, lower quality relationships with friends and romantic partners) when controlling for both the level and degree of change in antisocial behavior. Conclusions Results support that CU traits are clinically useful when identifying risk for problematic outcomes and highlight the need for effective intervention for youth with elevated CU traits. 10.1111/jcpp.14181 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor |
