Currently, little research has investigated psychosocial functioning among juvenile crack dealers, and there appear to be few studies comparing dealers to nondealing juvenile offenders. The current study examined whether juvenile crack dealers display more severe conduct-disordered behavior than their nondealing delinquent peers. The records of 130 adolescent males committed to a residential training school were studied. Analyses indicated that crack dealers were younger when first arrested, had more arrests and commitments, and met more DSM-III–R conduct-disorder criteria than their nondealing delinquent peers. In addition, the DSM-III–R conduct-disorder criteria met by dealers were more severe, and dealers were more likely to be rearrested within six months following release. Overall, significant differences between crack dealers and nondealing juvenile offenders were found; dealers displayed a more delinquent history and a more serious and violent conduct disorder than their nondealing yet delinquent peers.

In this study, the effects of an experimental-induced provocation on emotions and aggression were examined in 34 aggressive conduct-disordered children using a competitive reaction time paradigm. Two experimental conditions were created, an increasing provocation and a low constant provocation condition. Self-rated anger was assessed directly after provocation on a 5-point-visual scale. In addition, negative and positive emotions as well as physiological measures (heart rate and skin conductance level) were measured at baseline and after provocation. Results revealed that participants’ aggressive behaviour and subjective emotions differed as a function of the opponent’s level of provocation. Concerning physiological parameters, no significant differences were found between the experimental conditions. These results suggest that affective, but not physiological variables characterize reactive aggression in conduct-disordered children.

Abstract. The Social Cognition and Object Relations Scale-Global Ratings Method (SCORS-G; Stein, Hilsenroth, Slavin-Mulford, & Pinsker-Aspen, 2011 ) is a reliable system for coding narrative data, such as Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) stories. This study employs a cross-sectional, correlational design to examine associations between SCORS-G dimensions and life events in two clinical samples. Samples were composed of 177 outpatients and 57 inpatients who completed TAT protocols as part of routine clinical care. Two experienced raters coded narratives with the SCORS-G. Data on the following clinically relevant life events were collected: history of psychiatric hospitalization, suicidality, self-harming behavior, drug/alcohol abuse, conduct-disordered behavior, trauma, and education level. As expected, the clinical life event variable associated with the largest number of SCORS-G dimensions was Suicidality. Identity and Coherence of Self was related to self-harm history across samples. Emotional Investment in Relationships and Complexity of Representations were also associated with several life events. Clinical applications, limitations of the study, and future directions are reviewed.
