These results underscore the need for effective management strategies addressing these variables in school programs to provide early interventions that may prevent the escalation of risky behaviors among adolescents.

Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is a complex and often debilitating condition that can emerge from early behavioral disturbances in childhood and adolescence. This narrative review provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of ASPD in pediatric and adolescent populations, examining key diagnostic challenges, developmental trajectories, and emerging treatment approaches. Recent research underscores the critical role of the early identification of conduct disorder (CD)...

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is characterized by a disregard of others' feelings, social norms, rules and obligations as well as increased reactive and proactive aggression among others. Experimental investigations of neural correlates of provocation and associated aggression often use competitive reaction time tasks played against a fictional opponent, such as the Taylor Aggression Paradigm (TAP). However, previous TAP neuroimaging research mainly focused on aggression levels in...

Traditional theories emphasize diminished threat processing as the core fear deficit in psychopathic individuals, whereas recent approaches, such as the fear enjoyment hypothesis (FEH), propose that anomalies in the subjective experience of fear are related to interpersonal-affective psychopathic traits. In order to test predictions of the FEH, we conducted an...
