“…Antisocial behavior is often accompanied by high levels of psychopathic personality traits, which contribute to the emotional, interpersonal, and behavioral difficulties associated with maladaptive social behavior (Zalk & Zalk, 2015). Although the overall construct of psychopathy may be associated with a negative self-concept in adults (Gudjonsson & Roberts, 1983), and with structural and functional impairments of the mPFC (Ermer et al, 2012;Fanti et al, 2018;Johanson et al, 2020;Koenigs, 2012), recent studies suggest that while the different but interrelated dimensions of psychopathy (i.e.,. Grandiose-Manipulative, Callous-unemotional, and Impulsive-Irresponsible traits) tend to co-occur in individuals, they are associated with different behavioral outcomes and physiological and neurobiological underpinnings, both in adolescence and early adulthood.…”

Self-concept is shaped by social experiences, but it is not yet well understood how the neural and behavioral development of self-concept is influenced by a history of antisocial behavior. In this pre-registered study, we examined neural responses to self-evaluations in young adults who engaged with antisocial behavior in childhood and either desisted or persisted in antisocial behavior. A self-concept task was performed by 94 young adults (age range 18–30-yrs). During the task, participants with a persistent or desistent antisocial trajectory (N = 54), and typically developing young adults (N = 40) rated whether positive and negative traits in different domains (prosocial, physical) described themselves. We examined both the effects of a history of antisocial behavior as well as current heterogeneity in psychopathic traits. Participants endorsed more positive than negative trait statements across domains, which did not differ between antisocial-history groups. However, current psychopathic traits were negatively associated with prosocial self-concept and mPFC activity during self-evaluation. Together, these findings suggest that antisocial tendencies might indeed be reflected in self-concept development of young adults, specifically in the prosocial domain.

The Child Problematic Traits Inventory (CPTI) enables the assessment of psychopathy dimensions as early as age three. The current study employs a multi-informant approach (i.e., fathers, mothers, and teachers) to further investigate the unique associations between psychopathy dimensions, as measured by the CPTI, with theoretically relevant constructs of interest, such as conduct problems, oppositionality, empathy, and social relations, in early childhood (N = 1283, M age = 6.35). Although associations with conduct, aggressive, and oppositional behaviours differed in strength, our findings supported the importance of all psychopathy dimensions in predicting behavioral problems. Our findings also suggested a unique association of the callous-unemotional dimension with affective empathy. Furthermore, stronger associations were identified between the callous-unemotional and impulsive need for stimulation dimensions with social problems (e.g., peer and family relations) compared to the grandiose-deceitful dimension. Current findings can inform prevention and intervention efforts aiming to alter the development of psychopathic traits.
