- Adolescents with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD) show impaired emotional processing compared to typically developing individuals (TDI), indicating they struggle with detecting emotional valence in images.
- Both clinical groups (ODD/CD and autism spectrum disorder) performed worse than TDIs on emotional tasks; however, only TDIs had significant difficulty distinguishing between positive and neutral images.
- Higher levels of callous-unemotional traits in youths with ODD/CD and ASD were associated with poorer emotional detection, suggesting a potential link between these traits and the diminished ability to process positive stimuli.
