Abstract
This study found that justice-involved adolescents' callous-unemotional traits (CU) were positively associated with proactive and reactive relational aggression but only reactive overt aggression. The interpersonal coldness comprising CU traits supports their association with relational aggression, holistically, and proactive aggression when provoked. Addressing these traits may reduce aggression, promoting healthy development.
