Moral disengagement and callous unemotional traits configurations in adolescents with disruptive behavior disorder: A person-oriented approach

Marinella Paciello et al. Psychiatry Res. 2017 Dec.

Abstract

The interplay between Callous Unemotional Traits (CU) and Moral Disengagement (MD) was examined in a sample of 90 adolescents with Disruptive Behavior Disorders. Using a person-centered approach, three CU and MD configurations were identified, attesting the strong relationship between these two moral dimensions. However, for some adolescents, CU and MD do not 'move together'. Practical implications are discussed in terms of assessment and intervention.

Keywords: Callous unemotional traits; Moral disengagement; Person-oriented approach.
