Unemotional Traits

Oppositional defiant and conduct disorders are the most common mental health problems in childhood. They have a poor prognosis if left untreated, with increased crime, violence, drug misuse, academic failure, dependence on state welfare, psychosis, and early death. A number of children additionally have callous-unemotional traits, and they are at risk for going on to develop antisocial personality disorder, which has its origins in childhood. Children with comorbid callous-unemotional traits or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms have a high genetic contribution to their problems and reduced functioning in the limbic and prefrontal areas. There have been over 100 randomized controlled trials of interventions, with evidence-based parenting programmes repeatedly being shown to be effective in both the short and the longer term. There is emerging evidence that they may help prevent personality disorder. In the absence of ADHD, medication has no role to play in the routine management of oppositional defiant and conduct disorders.

The aim of the present study was to examine construct validity and reliability of the German reactive proactive aggression questionnaire (RPQ) in a sample of delinquent boys ( N = 156). A confirmatory factor analysis with a two-factor model of reactive and proactive aggression showed a good fit to the data. The factor structure of the original RPQ could be fully replicated in the German translation, and Cronbach’s alphas were good for both subscales. Concurrent validity of the RPQ was demonstrated by significant correlations with the subscales of the inventory of callous unemotional traits. In future studies, the German RPQ can be used to assess reactive and proactive aggression in judicial and forensic psychiatric care in Germany. The present findings also provide support for the use of the RPQ in cross-cultural comparisons.
