Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD) are two of the most common forms of disruptive behavior disorders during childhood. Callous-unemotional (CU) traits are an important factor in understanding the presentation of these externalizing forms of psychopathology. ODD, CD, and CU traits are highly related constructs, yet little work has examined how these externalizing forms of psychopathology are related at the domain level. The current study utilized network analysis to identify the distinct domains that explain the associations among ODD, CD, and CU traits. In a sample of 104 preschoolers (M age = 4.76), results demonstrated that the symptom domains of (a) angry/irritable mood and argumentative/defiant behavior, (b) aggression to people and animals, and (c) callousness were the primary bridge domains for ODD, CD, and CU traits, respectively. Findings of the current study offer a more nuanced insight into the relations amongst ODD, CD, and CU traits. Identification of bridge symptom domains can inform intervention practices by targeting specific symptom domains that are contributing to the maintenance of such aggressive and disruptive behaviors.

对立违抗性障碍 (ODD) 和品行障碍 (CD) 是儿童时期破坏性行为障碍的两种最常见形式。冷酷无情（CU）特征是理解这些外化形式的精神病理学表现的重要因素。ODD、CD 和 CU 特征是高度相关的结构，但很少有工作研究这些外化形式的精神病理学如何在领域级别相关。当前的研究利用网络分析来确定解释 ODD、CD 和 CU 特征之间关联的不同域。在 104 名学龄前儿童的样本中 ( M年龄 = 4.76)，结果表明 (a) 愤怒/易怒情绪和争论/挑衅行为，(b) 对人和动物的攻击性，以及 (c) 冷酷无情是 ODD、CD 和CU 特质，分别。当前研究的结果为 ODD、CD 和 CU 特征之间的关系提供了更细致入微的见解。桥梁症状域的识别可以通过针对有助于维持这种攻击性和破坏性行为的特定症状域来为干预实践提供信息。
