Abstract

The present study investigates whether self-reported psychopathic traits moderate the relationships between delinquent career features (i.e., age of first detention in a juvenile detention center, crime frequency, crime diversity, crime charges, and Conduct Disorder) and 1-year general delinquency and violent delinquency recidivism outcomes. The sample was composed of male youth (N = 214, M = 16.4 years, SD = 1.3 years) originating from the juvenile detention centers managed by the Ministry of Justice of Portugal. Results mostly suggest that neither the Antisocial Process Screening Device––Self-Report total score nor its Callous-Unemotional, Impulsivity, and Narcissism factor scores moderate the relationships between the delinquent career variables and general and violent delinquency recidivism outcomes. The notable exception was the interaction between crime frequency and callous-unemotional traits in predicting general recidivism. The current findings question the relevance of self-reported psychopathic traits as moderators of recidivism among juveniles despite the general association between psychopathy and conduct problems among youth.

青少年犯罪史预测因子与再犯结果之间的关系是否有自我报告的精神病态特征的调节作用?

本研究调查了自我报告的精神病特征是否调节了犯罪职业特征（即首次被拘留在青少年拘留中心的年龄、犯罪频率、犯罪多样性、犯罪指控和行为障碍）与1年一般犯罪和暴力犯罪累犯结果之间的关系。样本由来自葡萄牙司法部管理的青少年拘留中心的男性青年（N=214，M=16.4岁，SD=1.3岁）组成。结果大多表明，无论是反社会过程筛查设备——自我报告总分还是其Callous Unmotional、Impulsivity和Narcissis因素得分，都不能调节犯罪职业变量与一般和暴力犯罪累犯结果之间的关系。一个值得注意的例外是，在预测一般累犯时，犯罪频率和冷酷无情的特质之间的相互作用。目前的研究结果质疑了自我报告的精神病特征作为青少年累犯调节因素的相关性，尽管精神病与青少年行为问题之间存在普遍联系。
