精神病和犯罪之间的联系是建立的，但是人格障碍的具体组成部分在很大程度上是未知的。根据密苏里州723名被监禁的犯罪分子的数据，本研究深入研究了《精神病人格量表-短表》的八个子量表，以经验评估这种障碍的具体方面，这些方面最能解释职业犯罪的变化。在普通最小二乘回归、逻辑回归和t检验模型中，指责外部化是职业犯罪的最强预测因子。在所有模型中，无畏和无忧无虑的非计划性也很重要。精神病的其他特征，如压力免疫、社会效力和冷酷无情，对职业犯罪的预测微弱且不一致。本文将讨论这些发现对研究精神病态和不良职业生涯的影响。
The association between psychopathy and crime is established, but the specific components of the personality disorders that most contribute to crime are largely unknown. Drawing on data from 723 confined delinquents in Missouri, the present study delved into the eight subscales of the Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Short Form to empirically assess the specific aspects of the disorder that are most responsible for explaining variation in career delinquency. Blame externalization emerged as the strongest predictor of career delinquency in ordinary least squares regression, logistic regression, and t-test models. Fearlessness and carefree nonplanfulness were also significant in all models. Other features of psychopathy, such as stress immunity, social potency, and coldheartedness were weakly and inconsistently predictive of career delinquency. Implications of these findings for the study of psychopathy and delinquent careers are discussed in this article.
