The Externalizing Spectrum Model conceptualizes impulse-related problems and traits in terms of a superordinate disinhibitory factor, subordinate callous-aggression and addiction factors, and elements unique to specific problems/traits. Validity data for an inventory measure of this model (Krueger et al., JAP, 2007) will be presented for community and incarcerated offender samples.
