Autor: PECHORRO, Pedro ; GONÇALVES, Rui Abrunhosa, -Co-autor: BRAGA, Teresa ; KAHN, Rachel E. ; DELISI, Matt Idioma: Inglês.Publicação: [S.l.] : Routledge, 2018Descrição física: 281-298 p.; 30 cm em PDFColeção: Journal of Forensic Psychology Research And Pratice; 18 (4)Assunto - Nome de colectividade: 59152Assunto: 705 | 689 | 917 | 5166 | 741 | 5647 | 279 | 4988Localização e Cota : 159.9PEC Resumo: The aim of the present study was to analyze the relation between recidivism and self-reported psychopathic traits, more specifically the callous-unemotional, impulsivity, and narcissism dimensions of the psychopathy construct among female juvenile delinquents. The Antisocial Process ScreeningDevice–Self-Report (APSD-SR) and other self-report psychometric instruments (i.e., Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits [ICU], Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, version 11 [BIS-11], Narcissistic Personality Inventory-13 [NPI-13]) independently measuring the different dimensions of psychopathy were completed by a sample of incarcerated female juvenile offenders (N = 81) that were retrospectively classified as first-time offenders versus recidivists. The only statistically significant relation between recidivism and psychopathic traits found was with narcissism, namely with the Grandiose/Exhibitionism and the Entitlement/Exploitativeness dimensions of the NPI-13. Our results argue for some utility of self-reported psychopathic traits in retrospectively predicting recidivism among female juvenile delinquents.
