callous unemotional traits
Project description
DSM-5 proposes a callous-unemotional (CU) specifier for conduct disorder, while CU traits are also included in the proposed Axis-II traits. The present project explores how CU traits are connected to DSM-5 traits in a first research line. A second research line at the biological level examines if CU and DSM-5 traits show a similar pattern of hormonal reactivity to stressors.
