METHODS: A secondary analysis of pre-treatment data from 313 probation-supervised offenders was conducted, and measures of CD symptoms, general and specific psychopathology factors, RF, and aggression were evaluated through clinical interviews and questionnaires.
RESULTS: Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that a bifactor model best fitted the sample\'s psychopathology structure, including a general psychopathology factor (p factor) and five specific factors: internalizing, disinhibition, detachment, antagonism, and psychoticism. The structure of RF was fitted to the data using a one-factor model. According to our mediation model, CD significantly predicted the p factor, which was positively linked to RF impairments, resulting in increased aggression.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the critical role of a transdiagnostic approach provided by RF and general psychopathology in explaining the link between CD and aggression. Furthermore, they underscore the potential utility of treatments focusing on RF, such as mentalization-based treatment, in mitigating aggression in offenders with diverse psychopathologies.
方法:对313名缓刑监督罪犯的治疗前数据进行了二次分析,和CD症状的测量,一般和特定的精神病理学因素,射频,和攻击性通过临床访谈和问卷调查进行评估。
结果:验证性因素分析表明,双因素模型最适合样本的精神病理学结构,包括一般精神病理学因素(P因素)和五个具体因素:内在化,去抑制,脱离,对抗,和精神病。使用单因素模型将RF的结构拟合到数据。根据我们的调解模式,CD显著预测了p因子,这与射频损伤呈正相关,导致侵略增加。
结论:这些发现强调了RF和一般精神病理学提供的诊断方法在解释CD和攻击性之间的联系方面的关键作用。此外,他们强调了以射频为重点的治疗的潜在效用,例如基于心理的治疗,减轻具有不同精神病理学的罪犯的侵略。
