OBJECTIVE The presence of callous-unemotional (CU) traits in adolescence predisposes youth to negative behavioral and social outcomes and may be particularly damaging to youth involved in the justice system. Whereas research has shown that CU traits predict later arrest, it remains unknown whether rearrest predicts changes in CU traits and whether these associations may be modified by maternal relationship quality. The present study assessed whether being rearrested predicted changes in CU traits and whether these associations varied by maternal warmth and maternal hostility. HYPOTHESES We hypothesized that self-reported CU traits would increase at data collection time points following rearrest. Further, we hypothesized that maternal warmth would buffer the negative effects of rearrest, whereas maternal hostility would not have a significant moderating effect on the associations. METHOD Hypotheses were tested using a large, multisite longitudinal data set of 1,216 justice-involved male youth (Mage = 15.82 years at baseline; 47% Latino, 38% Black/African American, 15% White). Data from a series of nine interviews (across a 7-year period) were used to determine associations between rearrest at one-time point and CU traits at the subsequent time point. RESULTS Rearrest is associated with a significant increase in CU traits. However, these associations are not moderated by either maternal warmth or maternal hostility. CONCLUSIONS Rearrest predicts increases in a known risk factor for healthy socioemotional development among justice-involved youths (CU traits). Moreover, the way rearrest is associated with CU traits does not change depending on maternal warmth; rearrest is associated with increases in CU traits irrespective of the quality of a youth's relationship with their mother.

再次逮捕与冷酷无情特征的增强有关：母性关系质量没有调节作用。


目的 青春期冷酷无情 (CU) 特征的存在使青少年容易出现消极的行为和社会结果，并且可能对参与司法系统的青少年造成特别损害。尽管研究表明 CU 特征可以预测后来的逮捕，但再次逮捕是否可以预测 CU 特征的变化以及这些关联是否可能会因母系关系质量而改变，目前仍不清楚。本研究评估了再次被捕是否可以预测 CU 特征的变化，以及这些关联是否因母亲的温暖和母亲的敌意而变化。假设 我们假设自我报告的 CU 特征会在重新逮捕后的数据收集时间点增加。此外，我们假设母亲的温暖会缓冲重新逮捕的负面影响，而母亲的敌意不会对这种关联产生显着的调节作用。方法 使用 1,216 名参与正义的男性青年（法师 = 基线年龄 15.82 岁；47% 拉丁裔、38% 黑人/非裔美国人、15% 白人）的大型多地点纵向数据集测试假设。来自一系列九次访谈（跨越 7 年）的数据被用来确定某个时间点的重新逮捕与随后时间点的 CU 特征之间的关联。结果 再次逮捕与 CU 特征的显着增加相关。然而，这些关联并不受母亲的温暖或母亲的敌意的调节。结论 重新逮捕预示着参与正义的青少年健康社会情感发展的已知风险因素（CU 特征）会增加。 此外，重新逮捕与 CU 特征的关联方式并不因母亲的温暖而改变。无论青少年与其母亲的关系质量如何，重新逮捕都与 CU 特征的增加有关。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
