Objective

To assess the preliminary efficacy of the PSYCHOPATHY.COMP in reducing psychopathic traits among male detained youth.

Method

In this controlled trial, a treatment group (n = 24) and a control group (n = 22) answered the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory-Short at baseline and post-treatment. Treatment participants attended the PSYCHOPATHY.COMP, in addition to the Treatment As Usual (TAU); controls only received TAU. The treatment effects were tested both at a group level (2 × 2 mixed ANOVA) and at an individual level (Reliable Change Index; RCI).

Results

ANOVAs showed medium to large effect sizes (η²p), while RCIs revealed strong to moderate effect sizes (Cramer’s V).

Conclusions

Despite the limitations, this study offered preliminary evidence for the efficacy of the PSYCHOPATHY.COMP, suggesting that interventions targeting psychopathic traits should be considered in the rehabilitation of detained youth, as the absence of tailored interventions may increase the levels of psychopathic traits and its associated risks.

PSYCHOPATHY.COMP 计划后精神病特征的临床变化：对男性被拘留青年进行的对照试验的初步结果

客观的

评估 PSYCHOPATHY.COMP 在减少男性被拘留青年的精神病特征方面的初步功效。

方法

在这项对照试验中，治疗组 ( n  = 24) 和对照组 ( n  = 22) 在基线和治疗后回答了青年精神病特征量表 - 短。除了照常治疗 (TAU) 外，治疗参与者还参加了 PSYCHOPATHY.COMP；控制只收到 TAU。在组水平（2 × 2 混合方差分析）和个体水平（可靠变化指数；RCI）测试治疗效果。

结果

方差分析显示中到大的效应量 ( η ² p )，而 RCI 显示强到中等的效应量 (Cramer's V )。

结论

尽管存在局限性，但这项研究为 PSYCHOPATHY.COMP 的有效性提供了初步证据，表明在被拘留青年的康复中应考虑针对精神病特征的干预措施，因为缺乏量身定制的干预措施可能会增加精神病特征及其相关的水平风险。
