  abstract     = {{Objective: To better describe and treat children with conduct problems (CP), grandiose -manipulative and daring -impulsive traits are proposed for subtyping CP, instead of using only a callous -unemotional specifier. However, the acclaimed bene fits of having multiple specifiers for CP remain largely untested and therefore highly speculative. To fill this gap, this study tested longitudinal relations between these 3 specifiers and developmental outcomes in childhood and adolescence, independent of early childhood CP. Method: Longitudinal data from 2 community studies were used. Teacher ratings were used to measure CP and the specifiers in 3- to 5 -year -olds from Sweden (n = 2,064) and Spain (n = 2,055). Developmental outcomes were assessed by multiple informants (ie, teachers, parents, and children) 1 to 8 years later. Results: Early childhood CP were predictive of all outcomes. Callous -unemotional traits predicted low levels of social competence and prosocial behavior, independent of CP (and age, sex, and socioeconomic status). Grandiose -manipulative and daring -impulsive traits were predictive of aggression and violent delinquency, respectively, independent of CP, but also of higher levels of prosocial behavior or social competence. Conclusion: The 3 specifiers are predictive of different outcomes, independent of CP, which is thought to form the basis for developing specifiers for CP. Findings tentatively challenge the centrality of callous -unemotional traits for subtyping CP, but it is premature to conclude that grandiosemanipulative and daring -impulsive specifiers are needed in future revisions of DSM and ICD . Efforts to systematically evaluate the utility of these speci fi ers should be welcomed to inform ongoing debates on this matter.}},
