Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1024/1422-4917/a000369

Zusammenfassung.Fragestellung: Zeigen Mädchen mit Sozialverhaltensproblemen (SVP) in Abhängigkeit vom callous-unemotional (CU)-Persönlichkeitsmerkmal gegenüber gesunden Mädchen Auffälligkeiten in der Perspektivübernahme (PÜ)? Methodik: Anhand einer Video-Sequenz-Aufgabe und der Animated-Shapes-Aufgabe wurde die kognitive und affektive PÜ von Mädchen mit SVP und hohen CU-Werten (SVP-CU+), Mädchen mit SVP und niedrigen CU-Werten (SVP-CU-) und einer gesunden Kontrollgruppe (KG) untersucht. Hierfür wurden 59 Mädchen im Alter von 8;6 bis 16;11 Jahren getestet. Ergebnisse: Es wurden weder in der affektiven noch in der kognitiven PÜ signifikante Gruppenunterschiede gefunden. Schlussfolgerung: Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen die Notwendigkeit alters- und gendervergleichender Studien zur PÜ bei Mädchen mit SVP und CU-Zügen.


Cognitive and affective perspective-taking in girls with conduct problems as a function of the callous-unemotional personality feature

Abstract.Objective: Do girls with conduct problems (CP) and callous-unemotional (CU) traits show specific deficits in perspective-taking (PT) compared to healthy girls? Method: We examined cognitive and affective PT in girls with CP and high CU scores (SVP-CU+), girls with CP and low CU-scores (SVP-CU-), and a healthy control group (KG) using a video sequence task and the animated shapes task. The sample consisted of 59 girls aged 8;6 to 16;11 years. Results: The groups did not differ in affective or in cognitive PT. Conclusion: The results emphasize the necessity of studies of PT in girls with CP and CU traits that account for differences in age and gender.
