性格与犯罪行为之间有关系吗?我们在 862 名 18 岁男性和女性的代表性出生队列中回答了这个问题。通过多维人格问卷(MPQ)评估人格。 MPQ 衡量 10 种相对独立的人格特征,并不是为了识别犯罪者而设计的。违法行为通过 3 个数据源进行评估:自我报告、线人报告和官方记录。以变​​量为中心的分析表明,索引负面情绪和行为约束的 MPQ 量表是 3 个数据源中犯罪行为的一致预测因子。以人为中心的分析显示,戒除犯罪的青少年的独特特征是人际交往能力低下。参与广泛犯罪的青少年的独特特征是疏远感、缺乏社会亲密感和冒险精神。通过将人格与犯罪联系置于发展背景中的研究,可以在理解犯罪行为方面取得进展。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA,保留所有权利)
Is there a relationship between personality and criminal behavior? We addressed this question in a representative birth cohort of 862 male and female 18-yr-olds. Personality was assessed with the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ). The MPQ measures 10 relatively independent personality traits and was not designed to identify offenders. Delinquency was assessed via 3 data sources: self-reports, informant reports, and official records. Variable-centered analyses revealed that MPQ scales indexing negative emotionality and behavioral constraint were consistent predictors of delinquency across the 3 data sources. Person-centered analyses revealed that youths abstaining from delinquency were uniquely characterized by low interpersonal potency. Youths involved in extensive delinquency were uniquely characterized by feelings of alienation, lack of social closeness and risk taking. Advances in understanding criminal behavior can be made through research that places the personality-delinquency link in a developmental context.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
