Child maltreatment and risk behaviors: The roles of callous/unemotional traits and conscientiousness

Family Instability and Young Children's School Adjustment: Callousness and Negative Internal Representations as Mediators

“…A handful of previous studies had found empirical support for some selective family predictors of callousness (e.g., parental harshness, low warmth, maltreatment; Barker et al., ; Kimonis et al., ; Waller et al., ). However, to our knowledge, the only study that examined callousness as a mediator of family stress focused specifically on retrospective reports of maltreatment and adolescent functioning (Carlson et al., ). In further highlighting the gap, previous empirical work with young children has largely focused on cross‐sectional associations between callousness and school adjustment (e.g., Ciucci et al., ; Graziano et al., ; Vaughn et al., ).…”

“…In fact, Carlson et al. () found that callous‐unemotional behaviors mediated associations between retrospective reports of child maltreatment and concurrent risky behaviors in late adolescence. Likewise, studies have also identified associations between callousness and children's school adjustment difficulties in early (Graziano et al., ) and middle childhood (Ciucci, Baroncelli, Franchi, Golmaryami, & Frick, ; Vaughn et al., ).…”

“…In addressing the first link in the mediational chain, a handful of studies have identified some selective family predictors of callousness. For example, parental harshness, low warmth, and maltreatment have been concurrently and prospectively related to children's callousness in early childhood (Waller et al., ), middle childhood (Barker, Oliver, Viding, Salekin, & Maughan, ), and adolescence (Carlson, Oshri, & Kwon, ; Kimonis, Cross, Howard, & Donoghue, ). In fact, Carlson et al.…”

Evaluation of the Parent‐Report Inventory of Callous–Unemotional Traits in a Sample of Children Recruited from Intimate Partner Violence Services: A Multidimensional Rasch Analysis

“…As such, child abuse has been linked to lack of concern over the distress of others and empathy (Clark & Frick, 2016; Klimes‐Dougan & Kistner, 1990). Moreover, recent research suggests that CU traits operate as an important mechanism underlying the link between child maltreatment and later risk behaviors (Carlson, Oshri, & Kwon, ).…”

Identificação dos casos de violência contra crianças em escolas municipais de ensino básico de Araçatuba, São Paulo

“…A violência vem sendo reconhecida como uma questão social e de saúde pública devido à magnitude da violação aos direitos humanos, com graves consequências físicas, sociais e emocionais às vítimas (WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, 2002;2008;BRITO et al, 2005, MINAYO, 2009CARLSON;OSHRI;KWON, 2015). Apesar da maior sensibilização da sociedade sobre a temática da violência, ainda há muito a se fazer para garantir proteção aos grupos mais vulneráveis como o das crianças, em virtude da fragilidade física e do desenvolvimento da personalidade (DOSSI et al, 2008).…”
