“…The 2‐year stability for this study was .77, the 4‐year stability was .66 (age 12), and the 9‐year stability was .50 (age 17). Additional research further supports the early stability of child psychopathy (e.g., Barry, Barry, Deming, & Lochman, ; Hawes, Mulvey, Schubert, & Pardini, ; Lynam et al., ; Salihović, Özdemir, & Kerr, ).…”

While the construct appears to be valid, future work should broaden its focus from callous unemotional traits to all three dimensions of the construct, enhance measurement precision, and examine dimension interactions. Such research could have important implications for CD specification for future versions of the DSM and ICD and speed etiological knowledge and clinical care for youth with conduct problems.

“…Although research assessing within-person change in psychopathy remains sparse, studies utilizing more person-oriented methodologies (e.g., growth curve and trajectory-based approaches) have provided evidence suggesting there is considerable malleability in this construct. Findings from these studies have demonstrated significant within-person heterogenity across childhood and adolescence (Byrd, Hawes, Loeber, & Pardini, 2016; Pardini & Loeber, 2008), as well as important differences in group-based developmental trajectories (Fontaine, McCrory, Boivin, Moffitt, & Viding, 2011; Baskin-Sommers, Waller, Fish, & Hyde, 2015; Salihovic, Özedemir, & Kerr, 2013). These more recent studies highlight the importance of differentiating between individuals who exhibit psychopathic features that remain persistent and chronic in course, compared to those who display substantive change in such features across development.…”

This multi-cohort study delineates developmental trajectories of psychopathic features across childhood and adolescence (ages 7–16) and investigates associations with adult outcomes (ages~23–34). Although most youth demonstrated consistently low levels of psychopathic features, approximately 10%−15% followed a chronically high trajectory. A similar number (~14%) displayed initially high levels that decreased over time, while others (~10%−20%) followed an increasing pattern. Boys in the chronically high trajectory exhibited the most deleterious adult outcomes and some evidence suggested that youth in the decreasing subgroup experienced fewer maladaptive outcomes than those in the increasing and high groups. Findings revealed substantial malleability in the developmental course of psychopathic features and suggest that unique pathways may exert considerable influence on future engagement in antisocial and criminal behaviors.

“…The behavioral impulsive–irresponsible dimension comprises impulsive behavior, not taking responsibility for one's own actions, and a lack of realistic long-term goals (Cooke & Michie, 2001; Harris, Rice, & Cormier, 1991). These interpersonal, affective, and behavioral deficits tend to co-occur within the same individuals, yet each dimension also uniquely predicts high and stable antisocial behavior throughout adolescence (Salihovic, Özdemir, & Kerr, 2013) and in early adulthood (McCuish, Corrado, Lussier, & Hart, 2014). Thus, recent findings have revealed links between high and stable antisocial behavior and psychopathic traits in childhood and adolescence.…”

Evidence for the risks of psychopathic personality traits for adolescent antisocial behavior are well documented in the literature. Little is known, however, about who the peers of adolescents with these traits are and to what extent they influence one another. In the current study, three dimensions of psychopathic traits were distinguished: grandiose-manipulative traits, callous-unemotional traits, and impulsive-irresponsible traits. A dynamic social network approach was used with three waves of longitudinal data from 1,772 adolescents (51.1% girls, M age = 13.03 at first measurement). Results showed that adolescents with grandiose-manipulative and callous-unemotional traits formed peer relationships with adolescents who had low self-esteem. Furthermore, peers' violence predicted stronger increases in violence for adolescents with low self-esteem than for other adolescents, and peers' violence predicted stronger increases in adolescent violence for peers with high psychopathic traits than for other peers. Thus, findings indicate that adolescents with low self-esteem are vulnerable to deviant peer influence from peers with psychopathic traits.
