Resum: Callous-unemotional traits are defined as potential markers of psychopathy in children
and adolescents. Previous studies with the most widely used instrument designed
specifically to assess these traits, the Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (ICU), have
shown major methodological problems. For this reason, the purpose of the present
study was to develop a valid and reliable test to assess callous-unemotional traits
for the adolescent population free of the response biases social desirability (SD) and
acquiescence (AC). In order to obtain responses free of these biases, we used SD
item markers as well as content balanced items to identify a factor related to SD and
AC, so that SD and AC effects can be removed from the individual scores on content
factors. As well as the CU traits (unemotional, callousness, and uncaring scales), this
new questionnaire also contains an additional scale for assessing antisocial behaviors.
The test was administered to 719 adolescents between 13 and 19 years old. Exploratory
and confirmatory factor analysis yielded the following expected four dimensions with a
good fit: Unemotional, Callousness, Uncaring, and Antisocial Behavior. These scales
also showed good psychometric properties with good reliability, and convergent,
discriminant and criterion validity.
