- Psychometric properties of the Psychopathy Checklist : Youth version among portuguese juvenile delinquentsPublication . Pechorro, Pedro Fernandes dos Santos; Barroso, Ricardo; Maroco, João; Vieira, Rui Xavier; Gonçalves, Rui AbrunhosaThe main aim of the present study was to examine some psychometric properties of the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV) among Portuguese juvenile delinquents. With forensic sample of 192 incarcerated male participants, the Portuguese version of the PCL:YV demonstrated promising psychometric properties of the three-factor model of youth psychopathy, internal consistency, convergent validity, concurrent validity, and retrospective validity that generally justify its use among Portuguese youths. Statistically significant associations were found with age of criminal onset, frequency of crimes, number of victims, and use of physical violence.
- Validation of the Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits among a portuguese sample of detained juvenile offendersPublication . Pechorro, Pedro Fernandes dos Santos; Ray, James V.; Barroso, Ricardo; Maroco, João; Gonçalves, Rui AbrunhosaThe main aim of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (ICU) among a sample of incarcerated male Portuguese juvenile offenders (N = 221). Based on this sample, the Portuguese version of the ICU demonstrated promising psychometric properties, namely, in terms of factor structure, internal consistency, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and concurrent validity that generally justifies its use among this population. Statistically significant associations were found with conduct disorder, age of criminal onset, crime seriousness, physical violence use in committing crimes, alcohol use, cannabis use, and cocaine/heroin use.
