- - Recent research identifies two types of youths with conduct problems and high callous-unemotional (CU) traits: primary and secondary variants, each with distinct needs and behaviors.
- - A study of 309 adolescents revealed that those in the secondary variant exhibit more behavioral issues (like conduct and anxiety problems), perform worse academically, and have more conflicts with teachers compared to the primary variant.
- - The findings suggest that the negative traits associated with the secondary variant likely continue into adolescence, highlighting the need for targeted preventive interventions to support these individuals.
