What is it about?
The dimensional structure of callous-unemotional psychopathic traits in childhood and adolescence has been studied in several studies. In the present study, we analysed the factorial structure of the Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (ICU) in a community sample composed of 1,011 children and adolescents (495 boys and 516 girls), between 8 and 17 years old.

Why is it important?
Callous-unemotional psychopathic traits have proven to be an important construct related to behavioral problems and a precursor of psychopathy in adulthood.
Perspectives
We hope this paper may contribute to the development and implemention of prevention policies and practices, based on solid theoretical models.
