abstract="PURPOSE: This study examined associations between callous-unemotional (CU) traits and involvement in school bullying among 613 Taiwanese adolescents. <br><br>METHODS: CU traits were determined using the self-reported Chinese versions of the Inventory of Callous and Unemotional Traits (C-ICUT) and the School Bullying Experience Questionnaire (C-SBEQ). The study used logistic regression analysis to assess associations between CU traits and types of involvement in school bullying, with controls for the effect of age, sex, and residential background. <br><br>RESULTS: Higher levels of the callous trait were positively associated with greater risk of being a victim of physical bullying and belongings snatch, or a perpetrator of verbal, relational and physical bullying and belongings snatch. Higher levels of the unemotional trait were positively associated with greater risk of being a victim of verbal and relational bullying. The uncaring trait had no significant associations with any type of bullying involvement. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The role played by CU traits should, therefore, be examined when developing programs to detect and prevent school bullying.<br><br>Copyright © 2018.
