PC = primary caregiver; AC = alternative caregiver; CU = callous unemotional; DC = deceitful-callous. Pattern of findings for age 4 DC behavior and behavior problems with outcomes at age 9.5 were similar to those for age 3. Thus, these findings are not presented for brevity, but available on request. Note that inter-correlations between DC behavior and behavior problems from ages 2–4 have been reported in a previous study (see Hyde et al., 2013). Fisher r-to-z transformations showed that correlations with aggressive and rule-breaking behavior at age 9.5 were significantly greater in magnitude for age 3 DC behavior than age 2 DC behavior within primary caregiver informant reports (range, z = −2.2 – 3.43, p < .001) and for primary caregiver predicting alternative caregiver reports (range, z = 1.93 – 1.94, p < .05).
