What are the two dimensions of childhood temperament related to antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy, and what is the relationship?
What will be an ideal response?
1. Difficulty regulating emotions plus high levels of emotional reactivity, including aggressive behaviors when responding to stress and negative emotions like anger. This increases the risk of ASPD and the antisocial dimension of psychopathy. 2. Few problems with regulating emotions, fearlessness, low anxiety and callous-unemotional traits. These children show poor development of conscience, and their aggressive behavior is more premeditated than reactive. This is correlated with the interpersonal dimension of psychopathy. GRADING RUBRIC: 10 points, 4 for each dimension and 2 for their relationship with the disorders.
