Rasgos de personalidad y conducta antisocial delictiva

Abstract

Despite the lack of a unique criminal personality profile, certain factors or personality traits, such as those proposed by Eysenck (psychoticism, neuroticism, and extraversion) and those proposed in Gray’s model (anxiety, impulsivity), are significantly relevant in the origin and/or maintenance of antisocial behavior. This study was carried out to determine the relationship between personality factors and antisocial behavior in adolescents from a normal population. For this purpose, we administered the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and Cattell’s High School Personality Questionnaire (HSPQ), along with Seisdedos’ felonious antisocial behavior questionnaire (AD) to 324 adolescents from the municipality of Murcia. The results confirm the existence of significant relationships between certain personality traits (psychoticism, impulsivity, lack of self-control, unconcern, daring) and felonious antisocial behavior.
