  Abstract
To provide an extended assessment of the affective features of psychopathy, Frick developed the Inventory of Callous and Unemotional Traits (ICU), which is a multi-informant questionnaire. Previous studies have provided initial support for the self-report version.The aim of the present study is to investigate the validity of self- as well as other report versions of the ICU and examine associations with measures of psychopathic traits,empathy,antisocial behavior and prosocial attitudes,reward and punishment sensitivity, and personality traits in a Dutch community sample of 455 adolescents (56% males).The results of the present study replicate and extend previous findings on the psychometric properties and the validity of the ICU in a sample of nonreferred youth.The three ICU subscales showed distinctive patterns of associations with key external criteria. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
