Abstract
In this article we analysed the association between psychopathic traits manifested at early ageand behavioral problems in adolescents with an extension of correspondence analysis. The usedtechnique allows to verify the relationship between row and column variables in a two-waycontingency table. The data are obtained submitting to a sample of 689 high school studentstwo questionnaires: The Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (ICU) and The Strengths andDifficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)). Founding has an important pedagogical impact. Theeducational professionals, who spend most of the day with the kids, hardly can identify theCallous-unemotional traits but, at same time, could identify easily behavioral problemsallowing the implementation of early treatments or the use of pedagogical strategies for youngpeople that could have a high risk of psychopathic traits.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
