The relationship between psychopathy and negative behavioral, social, and health outcomes has lead to calls to identify factors that promote change in features of psychopathy. Given that maturation has important implications for changes in personality more broadly, it also may be informative of changes in specific personality traits associated with psychopathy. Rocque’s integrated maturation theory was used in the current study to guide the measurement of psychosocial, adult social role, and identity maturation domains among boys and girls from the Pathways to Desistance Study (n = 1,354). Based on cross-lagged dynamic panel models, within-individual change in temperance (psychosocial maturation), work orientation and consideration of others (adult social role maturation), and moral disengagement (identity maturation) predicted within-individual change in features of psychopathy measured using the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory. Maturation may influence features of psychopathy directly or indirectly through changes in a person’s social environment. Understanding why features of psychopathy change is an important step for developing person-oriented intervention strategies.

精神病与消极的行为、社会和健康结果之间的关系导致人们呼吁确定促进精神病特征变化的因素。鉴于成熟对更广泛的人格变化具有重要意义，它也可能为与精神病相关的特定人格特征的变化提供信息。Rocque 的综合成熟理论在当前的研究中被用于指导从 Pathways to Desistance 研究 ( n)测量男孩和女孩的心理社会、成人社会角色和身份成熟领域。= 1,354）。基于交叉滞后动态面板模型，节制（心理社会成熟）、工作取向和对他人的考虑（成人社会角色成熟）和道德脱离（身份成熟）的个体内部变化预测了测量的精神病特征的个体内部变化使用青年精神病特征量表。成熟可能会通过一个人的社会环境的变化直接或间接地影响精神病的特征。了解为什么精神病的特征会发生变化是制定以人为本的干预策略的重要一步。
