Abstract
This study explored the utility of ratings of behavioral problem history, callous-unemotional (CU) traits, and narcissism for predicting disciplinary citations for 111 adolescents attending a residential intervention program for at-risk youth. Personality factors predicted unique variance in disciplinary citations during the residential program, whereas self-reports of a history of aggression, conduct problems, and delinquency did not. Implications for understanding personality variables as risk factors for problem behaviors in a residential setting are discussed. In particular, it appears potentially useful for professionals in residential programs to understand the potential role of some personality factors on adolescent conduct in the residential milieu.
