Resumo: | Several authors suggest that Callous-Unemotional (CU) traits may be useful in identifying adolescents who exhibit initial, severe, chronic, and aggressive conduct problems. The Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (ICU) was developed to assess these traits, later associated with psychopathy, in children and adolescents. This study aims to analyze the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the teacher-report ICU for preschool-age children. The sample was collected in public schools and comprised the responses of 46 preschool teachers concerning 131 children (62 girls) between 3 and 6 years of age. Results indicate that a two-factor model revealed the best fit to our data, including a Callous and an Uncaring factor, resorting to 12 of the original 24 items. Additionally, the results of this study also provide evidence of measurement invariance across sex for the ICU, allowing us to compare mean levels of CU traits between boys and girls. The results of the present study showed that the Portuguese version of the ICU scale (teacher’s version) seems reliable and valid for evaluating CU traits in preschool children. |

O Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (ICU) foi desenvolvido para avaliar estes traços, mais tarde associados à psicopatia, em crianças e adolescentes. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar as propriedades psicométricas da versão portuguesa do ICU, reportada pelo professor, para crianças em idade pré-escolar. A amostra foi recolhida em escolas públicas e incluiu as respostas de 46 professores do ensino pré-escolar relativamente a 131 crianças (62 raparigas) entre os 3 e os 6 anos de idade. Os resultados indicam que um modelo de dois fatores foi o que melhor se ajustou aos nossos dados, incluindo o fator Callous e o fator Uncaring, recorrendo a 12 dos 24 itens originais. Além disso, os resultados deste estudo também fornecem evidências de invariância de medição entre sexos para o ICU, permitindo comparar os níveis médios de traços de frieza emocional entre rapazes e raparigas. Os resultados do presente estudo mostraram que a versão portuguesa do inventário ICU (versão do professor) parece ser fiável e válida para avaliar os traços de frieza emocional em crianças em idade pré-escolar.ISPA - Instituto Universitário2023-07-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14417/ap.1991https://doi.org/10.14417/ap.1991Análise Psicológica; Vol 41, No 1 (2023); 127-142Análise Psicológica; Vol 41, No 1 (2023); 127-1421646-60200870-8231reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttp://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/view/1991http://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/view/1991/pdfhttp://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/downloadSuppFile/1991/446http://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/downloadSuppFile/1991/447Copyright (c) 2023 Análise Psicológicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFigueiredo, PatríciaRamião, EduardaMoreira, DianaBarroso, RicardoBarbosa, Fernando2023-07-13T10:15:12Zoai:ojs.localhost:article/1991Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:34:30.992814Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
