Summary: Abstract: The Child Problematic Traits Inventory (CPTI) is a teacher-reported instrument to assess psychopathic personality traits in 3 to 6-year-old children (M=4.78, SD=.60). This is the first study to test the reliability and validity of this instrument within a Portuguese sample of 264 children aged between 3 to 6 years (43.2% female). Cronbach alpha values greater than .80 were observed for all CPTI scale scores. Regarding the criterion validity, CPTI total and its three dimensions were significantly correlated with an alternative measure of impulsiveness. The CPTI items loaded differently on the three theoretically proposed factors: (1) Interpersonal/Grandiose-Deceitful, (2) Affective/Callous-Unemotional, and (3) Behavioral/Impulsive-Need for Stimulation. The Total CPTI and the three dimensions of CPTI were significantly correlated with the alternative measure of Impulsiveness – CBQ Impulsivity subscale (r=.37Total; .29Interpersonal; .26Affective; .45Behavioral). In conclusion, our findings suggest that the CPTI is a psychometrically sound measure to assess psychopathic personality traits in a sample of community-residing Portuguese children.

Este é o primeiro estudo a testar a fiabilidade e validade deste instrumento numa amostra portuguesa de 264 crianças com idades compreendidas entre os 3 e os 6 anos (43,2% do sexo feminino). Foram observados valores de alfa de Cronbach superiores a .80 para todas as pontuações da escala CPTI. Relativamente à validade de critério, o CPTI total e as suas três dimensões mostraram-se correlacionados significativamente com uma medida alternativa de impulsividade. Os itens do CPTI saturaram de forma diferente nos três fatores propostos teoricamente: (1) Interpessoal/Grandioso-Dissimulado, (2) Afetivo/Frieza-Insensibilidade Emocional, e (3) Comportamental/Impulsivo-Necessidade de Estimulação. O CPTI Total e as três dimensões do CPTI foram significativamente correlacionados com a medida alternativa de Impulsividade – subescala de Impulsividade do CBQ (r=.37Total; .29Interpessoal; .26Afetivo; .45Comportamental). Os resultados sugerem que o CPTI é uma medida psicometricamente sólida para avaliar traços psicopáticos em amostras comunitárias de crianças portuguesas.ISPA - Instituto Universitário2024-02-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14417/ap.1995https://doi.org/10.14417/ap.1995Análise Psicológica; Vol 41, No 2 (2023); 221-233Análise Psicológica; Vol 41, No 2 (2023); 221-2331646-60200870-8231reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPenghttp://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/view/1995http://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/view/1995/pdfCopyright (c) 2024 Análise Psicológicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarroso, RicardoAzevedo, RitaCosta, Raquel2024-02-08T12:07:09Zoai:ojs.localhost:article/1995Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T13:21:24.636941Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
