Abstract
Background:
Among
early-onset
conduct
problems
(CP),
associated
with
more
disruptive
behaviors
of
greater
intensity
and
stability,
several
domains
have
been
proposed
from
a
variable-centered
perspective
to
capture
their
heterogeneity:
oppositional
defiant
disorder
(ODD),
attention-deficit/hyperactivity
(ADHD),
callous-unemotional
traits
(CU).
Using
person-centered
approach,
the
present
study
aims
identify
distinct
profiles
child
CP,
examining
different
predictors
developmental
outcomes.
Methods:
Data
included
parent-
teacher-reported
questionnaires
an
ongoing
longitudinal
(ELISA).
Latent
were
identified
first
in
community
sample
(n
=
2,103;
age
4–8
years;
50.9%
boys)
replicated
high-CP
subsample
168;
70.24%
boys).
Results:
Four
emerged
(Normative
Development,
Daring/Impulsive,
Low
prosociality
+
Fear;
Psychopathic
Traits
[PP]),
three
(same
except
normative).
The
CP
aligned
ADHD
CU
domains,
but
not
ODD
domain.
Differences
activity,
punitive
inconsistent
parenting
emerge
as
most
significant
predictors.
Regarding
outcomes,
PP

stands
out
group
severe

maladjustment.
Conclusions:
These
findings
highlight
heterogeneity
within
importance
designing
specific

interventions
for
each
