ABSTRACT

Perceived containment, the belief that authorities can effectively set limits on behavior, may explain why behavioral interventions produce moderate effects in youth exhibiting callous-unemotional traits. Examining whether callous-unemotional traits and perceived containment work together to confer risk for antisocial behaviors has implications for both screening and intervention in detained populations. In a sample of detained youth (M_age = 15.94; 70.4% Male), path analyses indicated that perceived containment mediated the association between callous-unemotional traits and behavioral problems characterized by challenging the authority of facility staff. Implications for screening and identification of individuals in need of additional support as well as a potential cognitive target for intervention are discussed.

摘要

感知遏制，相信当局可以有效地限制行为，可以解释为什么行为干预会对表现出冷酷无情特征的年轻人产生适度的影响。检查冷酷无情的特征和感知到的遏制是否共同作用以赋予反社会行为的风险对被拘留人群的筛查和干预都有影响。在被拘留的青年样本中（M_岁= 15.94; 70.4% 男性），路径分析表明，感知遏制介导了冷酷无情的特征与以挑战设施工作人员权威为特征的行为问题之间的关联。讨论了筛选和识别需要额外支持的个人以及潜在的干预认知目标的意义。
