自我控制为理解犯罪行为和受害风险提供了一个有用的框架。作为一种受害理论，研究已经确定，低自制力与受害风险的直接关系超出了其他因素的范围。这一发现引发了其他人格特征是否与受害风险增加有关的问题。使用来自农村物质滥用和暴力项目的九年级青少年样本（N = 2912），我们测试了大五人格特征清单是否能预测青少年基于学校的受害行为，而不仅仅是低自制力和对受害行为的对立解释。结果表明，在控制风险行为、学校依恋和低自我控制后，神经质与受害行为呈正相关。这一发现表明，除了自我控制能力低下之外，研究其他特征对于充分了解导致一个人容易犯罪的原因很重要。此外，我们还考虑了研究结果的理论和政策含义。
Self-control has provided a useful framework for understanding both offending behavior and victimization risk. As a theory of victimization, research has established that low self-control is directly related to victimization risk beyond a range of other factors. This finding raises the issue of whether other personality traits are associated with an increased risk of victimization. Using a sample of ninth-grade adolescents (N = 2,912) from the Rural Substance Abuse and Violence Project, we tested whether the Big Five Inventory of personality traits predicted adolescent school-based victimization above and beyond low self-control and rival explanations of victimization. The results indicate that, after controlling for risky behaviors, school attachment, and low self-control, neuroticism is positively related to victimization. This finding suggests that examining traits other than low self-control is important to capture fully what makes someone vulnerable to crime. Further, we consider the theoretical and policy implications of the findings.
